Welcome

Welcome to SuburbanStadium.org, a resource for facts and information on issues related to the Chicago Bears’ consideration of Arlington Heights as a possible home, from the perspective of the three school districts directly affected.

This site was created and is maintained by the three school districts that lie within the former Arlington Park Racetrack property, now owned by the Bears: Community Consolidated School District 15, Township High School District 211 and High School District 214.

The stadium proposal is a complex array of issues that includes - but is not limited to - matters of public policy and private entrepreneurship in the realms of taxation, transportation, representation, school funding, commercial development, land use planning, revenue streams and much more. This complexity is compounded by the necessary involvement of state, county and municipal governments, along with the school districts that serve the stadium-site area while also relying on the tax revenue it generates to help fund students’ education.

Again, the purpose of this site is to provide factual information. While the school districts involved do have a point of view concerning property tax assessment and revenue and what represents fairness on these matters, this site is not designed to offer or sway opinions. The fact is that all three districts are excited by and welcome the prospect of Arlington Heights becoming the Bears’ new home - under terms fair to all. With this site, we hope to serve as a one-stop shop for people seeking to better understand stadium-related issues and possibilities.
