As demolition work begins on portions of the site of the former Arlington International Racecourse site in suburban Arlington Heights, the village’s mayor says that it is just one step in the process of a potential Chicago Bears stadium coming to the community.
The Bears have received permission to begin demolishing portions of the grandstand and the office and jockey locker room buildings on the site, but while that work has begun, Mayor Thomas Hayes is urging residents not to count chickens before they hatch.
A purchase agreement was reached between the team and Churchill Downs to buy the site for $197.2 million. Since then, plans have been drawn up for what a stadium could look like, while the permitting process remains ongoing.
