Illinois eyes tax incentives to lure Bears stadium to Arlington Heights
TL;DR Summary
Illinois House approved a property-tax incentive bill to persuade the Chicago Bears to build a new stadium on team-owned land in Arlington Heights, moving the measure to the Senate. The plan would replace traditional property taxes with negotiated payments, as Indiana presses its own pursuit of the team; a decision is expected by early summer, with polls indicating mixed fan support if the Bears leave Illinois.
