Some whispers in the sports blogosphere about the Bears leaving Soldier Field in the medium term... they're locked into a lease for Soldier Field for another 13 years, but if McCaskey passes away I expect the new ownership will start exploring their options.
Arlington Park Racetrack was always discussed historically as a suburban site, and now it's looking like the entire site could become available if the racetrack closes for good. That would provide enough room for not just a stadium and endless parking, but also a mixed-use development "stadium village" etc.
