CHICAGO – Gov. JB Pritzker says he’d be disappointed if the Chicago Bears moved out of the city.
This week, the Bears sand Churchill Downs Incorporated signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the entire Arlington Park land parcel in the Village of Arlington Heights.
According to the Governor, it’s a tradition to have the Bears playing at Soldier Field in Chicago, but Pritzker hopes the city and the team can work out their differences.
“There’s something about having them in the city, and nearby that’s attractive to me, and I care about. It’s just there’s a tradition that I think we all feel, many of us about the city of Chicago. Having said that, this is a private enterprise in gaging with city governments to decide what’s best for them.
The Pritzker Administration is not looking at offering any state incentives to keep the team in Chicago.
