The Bears are still solely focused on building a new enclosed stadium in Arlington Heights and hoping to move ground this year.

Team president and chief executive officer Kevin Warren confirmed the Bears’ plans during a press conference at Halas Hall in Lake Forest on Friday.

“We are still extremely focused on Arlington Heights on building our stadium there,” Warren said. “That’s our plan. We strongly believe that is the only location in Cook County that will allow us to build a stadium, a new Chicago Bears stadium with a fixed roof. We are making great progress.”

Warren said that the Bears have only been discussing plans on building a new stadium with the village of Arlington Heights. The two parties have met weekly over the past couple of months.
