Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes told CBS News Chicago that the village and three school districts reached a tentative deal with the team over property taxes, though the team says it is still focusing on a new stadium in the city of Chicago. "I am encouraged about the significant progress we have made in recent weeks," Hayes wrote.

After about a year of wrangling with local school districts over the size of the team’s suburban property tax bill, the Bears say their memorandum of understanding opens the runway for them to land in Arlington.
