New Bill Would Create $3 Per Ticket Increase for Chicago Bears Games to Help Pay Off Debt

Share

New legislation has been introduced to reinvigorate plans for a Chicago Bears stadium in Arlington Heights. The bill creates a three dollar per ticket tax to help pay off debt from the renovation of Soldier Field, and freezes property tax assessments for the site. Governor JB Pritzker says he hasn’t reviewed this latest proposal but that his goal is to ensure the state remains on firm fiscal footing.

The Bears have said they don’t want taxpayers to help fund the actual stadium but are looking for state help for the surrounding entertainment complex and infrastructure.
