Now it's just 2200 W. Euclid: ChicagoBears security at Arlington_Park meets with ArlingtonHtsGov police and fire chiefs
Though the proverbial keys to Arlington Park have been handed over from Churchill Downs to the Chicago Bears, there was nary a sign, banner or flag bearing the team's iconic orange wishbone C logo hoisted there Thursday.
The visit marked one of the first formal meetings between village officials and representatives of the new property owner, in a planning and development process that will likely take years before the Bears could break ground on a potential enclosed stadium and mixed-use district. "If they want to establish a partnership, we are here to be the public safety provider for the village of Arlington Heights, so it'd be good to get to know whoever the point of contact is for 2200 W. Euclid," said Police Chief Nick Pecora, who went on the tour with Fire Chief Lance Harris.
And police want to know whom they should contact to sign criminal complaints if there's a trespassing arrest or something else, Pecora said. Even after the last horse race was held at the track in September 2021, Arlington Park's parking lot was host to community recycling and shredding events, and a large Polish festival last summer.
