Bears President Ted Phillips Gives Update On Arlington Park Quest

The layoffs of general manager Ryan Pace and former head coach Matt Nagy were announced at a press conference by Chicago Bears president George McCaskey on Monday.

And as is tradition with Bears postseason press conferences, it didn’t go, shall we say, well. McCaskey gave Chicago sports radio and Twitter plenty of fodder.

Having said that, McCaskey made an announcement about changing the corporate structure in the future, which some people will see as a good development.

The new general manager may then report immediately to McCaskey rather than to president Ted Philips, as has previously been the case. the cause? Phillips is now concentrate more on the team’s desire to buy Arlington Park and relocate to Arlington Heights.

The group is not already considering any other sites for a potential transfer, Phillips confirmed on Monday. It & rsquo, s Arlington Heights or bust at this point.

He said:

There is nothing else like it in Chicagoland, & ldquo, There & rsquo. As a result, we haven’t even started to imagine what the prospects andmdash might be. However, we & rsquo, are optimistic that if we come to an agreement, it will be moving forward with making it a fantastic destination site. & rdquo,

and went on:

Again, we are unsure of the exact time because we haven’t actually closed on the property. If we don’t shut in on the property, then all of that perception will never come true. We & rsquo, however, is enthusiastic about the possibility that Arlington Heights could be a destination for entertainment with many facets, which, in my opinion, could significantly advance its reputation. & rdquo,

While the team has a purchase agreement with seller Churchill Downs for the land, there is still a long way to go.

McCaskey called the opportunity ‘‘an outstanding, long-term proposition with high potential for the Bears.’’ However, he also stressed that the team does not own the property yet and that some questions are premature.

How the price of Arlington Park came to this

Churchill Downs, the owner of Arlington Park, listed the record for sale at the beginning of 2021. The majority of the following time was spent in a buying method.

Certain potential buyers wanted to keep horse racing at Arlington Park. However, based on its actions, it’s reasonable to say that Churchill Downs had no desire to continue horse racing at the facility.

The most well-known casino in Illinois, Rivers Casino Des Plaines, is owned by Churchill Downs in a lot state. Rivers is less than a half-hour’s drive from Arlington Park, and any kind of gambling that close could ultimately be detrimental to Churchill Downs & rsquo.

Then, Rivers became the official casino partner of the franchise. We then learned that the Bears bid on the property, and a few months later, Churchill Downs and the Bears came to a purchase agreement.

If the agreement is finalized, the company will pay$ 197.2 million for the area.
