I still think the Bears end up in Arlington Heights, but if that is their ultimate goal then they would seem to be in danger of overplaying their hand. In order to leverage the city stadium plan in any negotiations with Arlington Heights, there has to be a belief that the plan to build a new stadium in Chicago has legs. At this point, I don't think there is any clear path to the funding they are requesting, so they might as well be threatening to build a new stadium on the moon.
