"Chicago Bears stadium search expands to suburbs"

The City of Waukegan, a suburb of Chicago, has sent a letter to the Bears expressing their interest in having the NFL team be the home of their new stadium. The letter extolled the advantages of the team moving their home venue to the city, including its proximity to Halas Hall, the Bears’ headquarters, and multiple areas of land that could be developed for a stadium and entertainment district. This is the second city to reach out to the Bears after they announced that the Arlington Park property is not their “singular focus” for a new stadium.
