McCook pitches tax-free Bears stadium on quarry land

TL;DR Summary
Southwest suburb McCook proposed an 150-acre site on a former quarry for an 80,000-seat domed stadium owned by the village and leased to the Chicago Bears for $1 per year, with no property taxes for the team. It's unclear if the Bears are seriously considering the plan, which comes after Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana efforts; the village could pursue other projects if not chosen.
