The Bears' original plan to privately finance the stadium hasn't gained sufficient footing, prompting officials to explore public ownership. This approach would solve the property-tax question that has stalled the team's ability to convert the Arlington Park site into a new stadium. The goal is to craft legislation that would pass both houses of the Illinois Legislature.
