Pat McAfee reacts to the Bears expanding their stadium search to the state of Indiana. "In addition to Arlington Park, we need to expand our search and critically evaluate opportunities throughout the wider Chicagoland region, including Northwest Indiana," Warren said. We invested significant time and resources evaluating multiple sites and rationally decided on Arlington Heights. That led the Bears to explore Arlington Heights once again as an option, which Warren announced during league meetings in April. "We have not asked for state taxpayer dollars to build the stadium at Arlington Park," Warren said.
