Jesus christ, can we stop talking about hosting super bowls already. That's not something you should strive for or spend literally billions in taxpayer money. Also, plenty of cold weather cities get by just fine with open-air stadiums. Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Green Bay, Cincinnati, etc. Also note that Arlington Heights is not big enough to finance a megastructure like this, so the cost will likely need to be spread regionally via the ISFA or some other deal.
The Bears are locked into a long-term lease at Soldier Field until 2033. I'm guessing Arlington Heights doesn't want to wait that long, and the city is unlikely to let the Bears out of their lease just so they can flee to the suburbs.
