Last race at Arlington Park was last Saturday and today....

The Chicago Bears have signed a purchase agreement for Arlington International Racecourse, a move that takes the team a step closer toward securing property for a new stadium and leaving their longtime home at Soldier Field.

Yuck. Crowds of football fans coming to my town soon.

Well, maybe. A history of the Bears' playing venues, real and otherwise.

The thing to watch for is how much they expect taxpayers to pay to build the new stadium. Most of them lose money like crazy.

IIRC, the City of Los Angeles refused to fund the new stadium downtown and it got built with private money anyway.
