Rolling Meadows, Illinois to study impact of potential Chicago Bears stadium in neighboring Arlington Heights
Leaders in the northwest Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows want to know how their municipality could be impacted if the Chicago Bears build a new stadium in neighboring Arlington Heights. At a meeting Tuesday night, the Rolling Meadows City Council approved the hiring of a team of consultants. They will research everything from traffic to construction and sound when it comes to a new stadium. But Rolling Meadows Mayor Lara Sanoica emphasized the excitement at the prospect of the Bears' possible move too. "We are on the cusp of achieving a dream that has captured Chicago's northwest suburban imagination since George S. Halas first proposed moving the Bears to Arlington Park 50 years ago," Sanoica said. Indeed, talk of moving the Bears to Arlington Heights is not actually new at all. The Bears moved to Soldier Field in 1971 after half a century of sharing Wrigley Field with the Chicago Cubs, and the team website notes that Bears management toured Arlington Park racetrack even back then — only to find it of insufficient spectator capacity. When the Bears arrived at Soldier Field, they initially signed on for a three-year commitment. By 1975, a move to Arlington Heights was being floated again. As quoted by the Daily Herald, Bears owner George S. "Papa Bear" Halas told the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce, "I hope and pray that 1977 will find the Bears contending for a title in a new stadium in Arlington Heights." The more recent narrative involving the Bears going to Arlington Heights dates back only to 2021, when they made a bid to buy the old 326-acre Arlington International Racecourse. While they closed that $197 million deal in 2023, and later demolished the racetrack's grandstand and other buildings, plans to build a stadium there were delayed amid a dispute over property taxes. The Bears later pivoted to plans for a domed stadium on the Chicago lakefront, unveiling a $4.7 billion proposal that would have relied on $2.4 billion in public funding. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has called that plan a "nonstarter," and said public funding for a Bears stadium would not be a good deal for taxpayers. With talks about that proposed lakefront stadium having stalled, the Bears have now shifted their focus back to the old Arlington International Racecourse site. Rolling Meadows borders the property on three sides.

Warren QB Jack Wolf will go to any length on the court to win. ‘Every great team needs a Dennis Rodman type.'
If the Warren boys basketball team tracked floor burns, there's no doubt that senior guard Jack Wolf would rank first in the category. A three-sport athlete, the 6-foot-4 Wolf was the starting quarterback for the Warren football team for two seasons, and his no-holds-barred style of play is one of the keys to the Blue Devils' success on the court. 'Football gave me that gift, being hit and driven into the ground,' he said. 'I have the mindset that no one's going to take the ball from me. Every great team needs a Dennis Rodman type, a dude who's gritty and says, 'I'm going to make this team win with my effort.'' Wolf is unarguably that player for Warren (26-10), which will take on Rich Township (26-8) in the Class 4A state semifinals at the State Farm Center in Champaign at 7:45 p.m. Friday in its first state appearance since 2011. He will carry the responsibility of setting the tone early, showing both his teammates and the Raptors from the opening tip that no one will outwork him. Wolf's initial burst during the Blue Devils' 60-48 win against Rolling Meadows in the NIU Supersectional on Monday included the game's first basket on an aggressive drive. 'He's a warrior,' Warren coach Zack Ryan said. 'He does everything you want as a coach to help the team win. A lot of it isn't scoring. It's defense. It's leadership. We wouldn't be here without Jack. But as hard as he plays and how tough he is, we can play with anyone.' Wolf, who does get credit for leading the team in charges taken, has a skill set that complements the free-flowing guard trio of senior Javerion Banks, junior Braylon Walker and sophomore Jaxson Davis and the interior force that is senior Zach Ausburn. Wolf's all-out effort and his uncommon athleticism make him a plus defender with the ability to go toe-to-toe with both guards and forwards. A case in point, Wolf initially drew the assignment to check Rolling Meadows' 6-8 senior forward Ian Miletic, a Marquette recruit, during the supersectional. After Wolf got two early fouls, Walker took turns on Miletic, who finished with 21 points after he had scored a combined 70 points in two sectional games. 'We knew that we had to play him physically, so that's what I was doing,' Wolf said. 'I consider myself a defense-first player, and I want to be a guy to lock down anybody.' Intangibles are a strong suit for Wolf, but he also produces statistically. He'll enter the state semifinals averaging 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Although he typically plies his trade inside the arc, Wolf has made 24 3-pointers, the third-highest total on the team. 'When I need to score, I'm going to score too,' he said. 'There's no problem with that. Winning is my top priority, though, and if we win, I'm the happiest guy on this planet.' There have been a lot of smiles for Wolf, who has been part of 57 wins in basketball and two state quarterfinal appearances in football during his junior and senior years. After basketball ends, he'll pitch for the Warren baseball team too. Staying busy with sports is all Wolf has ever known. 'Playing those three sports is what I want to be doing, and I find interest in all three,' he said. 'Obviously, I get a little sore, but my body is adjusted to it. The experience of all three actually makes me more agile, and I can rest when I get older.' Down the road, Wolf hopes he'll also be able to look back at the upcoming weekend and consider it among his most memorable athletic experiences. As this week progressed, he finally came to grips with the fact that the Blue Devils are two wins away from a state title. 'It's been since I was like 6 or 7 years old that I was wishing that one day I'll be out there playing in huge games like these,' Wolf said. 'I realized it earlier today when we were getting some details about the trip that we'll be playing on the sport's biggest stage. 'To have a chance to really go and do this is pretty special.'

Braylon Walker makes sure Warren can ‘finish the job' in supersectional. The Blue Devils are going to state.
Warren junior guard Braylon Walker wasn't going to forget how last season ended. Even if Walker and his teammates weren't back in the same game on the same court on Monday night, he would have remembered. 'After we lost, we talked about that moment every day last summer,' Walker said. 'We put in the work, the effort, and we were determined to get back here and finish the job. We played with a chip on our shoulders. That was a long bus ride home.' With the same prize on the line — a berth in the Class 4A state semifinals — Walker answered the bell on both ends of the court as the Blue Devils beat Marquette recruit Ian Miletic and Rolling Meadows 60-48 in the NIU Supersectional at the Convocation Center in DeKalb. The 6-foot-3 Walker scored 11 points and was one of four players in double figures for Warren (26-10), which had lost 55-53 to Palatine in the supersectional last year but advances to play Rich Township (25-8) in the state semifinals at the State Farm Center in Champaign at 7:45 p.m. Friday. Senior center Zach Ausburn, who was coming off a huge game against Waukegan in the sectional final, and sophomore guard Jaxson Davis each scored 14 points the the Blue Devils, and senior guard Javerion Banks added 13. But Walker's most consequential role was the yeoman's work he did defensively against the 6-7 Miletic. After scoring 70 points in Rolling Meadows' previous two games, Miletic was held to a more manageable 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting. Walker switched to Miletic after senior forward Jack Wolf was called for his second foul late in the first quarter. 'I watched a lot of film on him, and I know Ian pretty well,' Walker said. 'We work out together at the same gym four times a week, and I played with him growing up. He's very skilled. 'I knew I couldn't overreach or overplay him, and he tried to take advantage of me in the post. I had to be very physical with a guy like him, pressure him, make him uncomfortable.' Walker did exactly that, and while Rolling Meadows (30-5) had to work for everything on its offensive end, Walker exhibited a particularly strong offensive game as well. His controlled assertiveness contributed to the Blue Devils' game-long efficiency and helped keep the Mustangs on their heels. 'Braylon was aggressive on offense, got to the basket and didn't force it,' Warren coach Zack Ryan said. 'He made good passes, and he and Jaxson both played really good floor games. 'When you have guards like we have when you have a lead, you can pull teams out and take some air out of it.' The Blue Devils were in position to do that because they were essentially in control the entire game. They never trailed and led by as many as 18 points midway through the second quarter. The Mustangs put together a run that trimmed the lead to 34-30 in the third quarter. But Warren hit back with a 12-0 burst, which Walker started with a 3-point play and two free throws on back-to-back possessions. 'They overplayed Jaxson, face-guarding him, so I knew there would be an opportunity to score,' Walker said. 'Especially in the third quarter when they went on a run, I played with the mindset there that I'm not going home this time without a win.' That mindset was apparent in Walker's level of activity, which is nothing new. He also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals. 'I do whatever I need to do to help us win,' he said. 'Today, I needed to do more scoring. In other games, like last game, I had to play my best defensively. Each game, my role is different.' Warren knew all along that he would have a big role for Warren, but he was sidelined for much of December with mononucleosis and flu. Combined with the even longer absence of Banks, who was out after surgery, there was a long stretch of the season when the Blue Devils struggled. 'That really knocked me down for a while, and it took me a few weeks to get myself back to feeling like myself,' Walker said. 'We had a really hard schedule, too, so that led to us having to definitely fight through some adversity.' A team is better equipped to handle adversity when someone like Walker is at his best. No one knows that better than Davis, who has played with Walker since the two were growing up. 'For Braylon to guard (Miletic) like he did and produce on the offensive end, that was big-time,' Davis said. 'I've been playing with him all my life, and that's my brother, no matter what happens. 'It doesn't surprise me at all that he showed his best when it mattered.'
