The idea of Naperville as a possible alternative stadium location was broached by Naperville Mayor Scott Wehrli when he wrote a letter to the team and with Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren.

White was part of an online meeting organized by Mayor Scott Wehrli with Bears representatives last week. He would not disclose who else was part of the session, how things were left or if a third meeting was planned.The concept of Naperville as a possible alternative stadium location was broached by Naperville Mayor Scott Wehrli when he wrote a letter to the team and then held a June 2 in-person meeting with Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren.

With people tailgating before games and the consumption of alcohol, public safety is also an issue, he said. “Will we need to hire more police?” was one of the questions White said he asked. Bears’ representatives have notified Arlington Heights that plans to build a stadium in the village are “at risk,” in part because of the high property tax assessment from Cook County, and they are exploring other stadium location options.

The councilman also acknowledged that conversations the Bears are having with communities like Naperville could be something the team is using to leverage their negotiations with Arlington Heights. Echoing the mayor, Councilman John McBroom said conversations with the Bears were spurred by concerns Naperville leaders have over the large underdeveloped properties in the I-88 tech corridor.
