Holzhauer said he learned of the Bears statement and the mayor’s letter and meeting at the same time the public did. In his post, he raised questions about the economic benefits of a stadium in Naperville and concerns about the possibility that local school districts could be shortchanged by such a deal.

“If nothing else comes of this besides our mayor sending a signal to the state that Naperville is open for business and willing to listen to economic development ideas, that’s a win in my book,” McBroom said.A rendering released by the Chicago Bears shows the view from the threshold of the proposed stadium of the Arlington Park entertainment district. The Bears released proposed development plans for the Arlington International Racecourse property in Arlington Heights on Sept. 6, 2022.

“Our city applies a robust public input and review process, including numerous opportunities for community input, review by relevant boards and commissions, and ultimately a very public process before the City Council,” the mayor said.
