Brandon Johnson didn't say what he is prepared to do to keep the Bears in Chicago amid their courting of Arlington Heights and Naperville.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson held a break-the-ice video call with Bears President Kevin Warren on Wednesday in hopes of establishing a rapport with the NFL team that former Mayor Lori Lightfoot never had. "Today we met and discussed our shared values and commitment to the City of Chicago, the importance of deep roots and the need for equitable community investment throughout the city.
At an unrelated event earlier Wednesday, Johnson had been asked about the Bears' potential move to Arlington Heights, and what could be done to prevent it. Johnson said his goal is to give Bears' ownership, the Chicago Park District and Chicago residents"a real seat at the table to discuss a pathway forward" to keep the Bears in the city.
