Well, I always thought that while Warren seemed sincere in wanting the Bears to stay on the lakefront, that it might have been a well played plan to tell AH, shit or get off the pot. I guess (especially with the opposition group on the lakefront) that we are about to find out which one it is.

I am thinking AH just made a pretty strong play. I still have no idea what Bears get from public stadium in the city, so guessing this puts Arlington Heights back in play.

I think it is the better play. And if I think it is the better play, then they should go with the other one, lol
Arlington Heights realized they over played their hand and there was risk (real or perceived) of the Bears not developing that property. All sides are playing a long game here with bits of a con mixed in.

Well played by the Chicago Bears. I just couldn't imagine the Bears would rent again in Chicago in a tiny parking lot footprint (the south parking lot of the existing Soldier Field) - when they already owned a HUGE 325 acres of land earmarked for an entire campus of money-making investment opportunities... including high-end hotels, restaurants, a state-of-the-art sports venue, entertainment businesses, gambling... things that should make an incredible amount of money for the McCaskeys. It just didn't make sense to me (LOL, not that I know anything about this stuff. I don't. But it just didn't add up to me that they'd be beggars renting again in Chicago).
Kevin Warren is one sharp dude. This isn't the hapless Ted Phillips here now. Warren just outfoxed Arlington Heights and got everything he wanted for this franchise. Love the hire of him for our President/CEO. Football guy who is ALSO a brilliant "get it done" guy.

Don't forget - all we have a proposal from AH. Nothing from the Bears stating they have moved from their intent to pursue the lakefront. I hope that happens, but until I see that, I am going to assume that Chicago is still the frontrunner. Should not be, but.....

+1 Here's the beauty of their present situation. They can now "play" Chicago for more concessions too. Then accept the deal from whomever offers the most to the Bears. LOL, I love this situation. Both entities can humbly come, hat in hand, and beg for the Bears to accept their offer/concessions.

He baited them into finally moving off of their tax stance. It was a stupid position anyway. He is a masterbaiter
