Chicago Bears stadium: Yes to proposed sports wagering facility

The Plan Commission recommends the Village Board to amend the zoning for the Arlington International Racecourse site to allow for a sports betting facility. The team proposed to build both an NFL stadium and an adjoining mixed-use commercial and residential district. It is not clear if the team will seek public funding to help pay for parts of the proposed project. Sports betting has been legal in Illinois since 2019. In July 2021, the village board approved an ordinance that established the Arlington Race Course Overlay Zoning District. A sports wagering facility must be part of an approved professional sports stadium.
