New Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren wasted no time in talking about his thoughts for the team’s potential new stadium in Arlington Heights.
"I think the biggest thing I learned was the fact that you need to plan before you start digging," Warren said."And I think what made and makes U.S. Bank Stadium so special - we spent almost a year in planning and planning is critical. And that's what I appreciate about the McCaskeys is that they support the planning process. And so I think that will be really critical from that standpoint. I know we're focused on Arlington Park and that stadium development project.
Technically the Bears still need to close on their purchase agreement for Arlington Park, but the team has made it clear that moving to the suburbs is their singular focus for their next home. Bears chairman George McCaskey said in a town hall meeting in September that the team will not explore any other options for a new stadium while the team is under contract to purchase the property. Even still, Chicago has proposed a number of changes to Soldier Field.
Warren is the first president to truly come from outside the organization in franchise history. The Bears have been looking for a new president since Ted Phillips announced his retirement in September.
