A report focused on the economic and fiscal impact of a new Chicago Bears stadium in Arlington Heights was released by the team, projecting billions of dollars in economic activity and a nine-figure cost to taxpayers.

The report attempts to assuage concerns about the price tag by pointing to gross state tax revenues of almost $1.3 billion over 40 years, according to projections from HR&A Advisors Inc.
