The Chicago Bears released their conceptual plans Tuesday for developing a 326-acre Arlington Park property, including constructing a domed stadium. They call it “one of the largest development projects in Illinois state history. It is a multi-purpose entertainment district anchored by a “new; best-in-class enclosed stadium. It would provide Chicagoland with a new home worthy of hosting global events such as the Super Bowl, College Football Playoff, and Final Four.”
