The time has come to say farewell to the iconic Arlington Park grandstand as ChicagoBears start demolition today. 😢
Almost 34 years to the date the new Arlington Park grandstand rose from the ashes and welcomed back horse racing fans after a devastating fire, the stately building that towers over the shuttered racing oval finally is set to meet the wrecking ball.
The building department on May 26 approved the Bears' first permit covering interior demolition of the grandstand and a two-story office and jockey building. Demolition equipment and crews have been on site since May 30. Warren and other Bears brass are engaged in tense negotiations with the schools over the amount of property taxes the NFL club should pay over the next two years.
