The Chicago Bears sweepstakes just got a little more interesting. After Arlington Heights, Naperville, and Waukegan, the city of Aurora has thrown their name into the hat. Richard Irvin, the mayor of Aurora, Illinois, sent a letter to the Bears that opened with this statement.

“AURORA, THE CITY OF LIGHTS, THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN ILLINOIS, IS BUILT ON THE UNSHAKABLE FOUNDATION OF ITS STORIED PAST. THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH THE HISTORIC CHICAGO BEARS AS YOU SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT NEW HOME IS ONE WE ARE EAGER TO TAKE ON …TURNING A VISION INTO REALITY IS NOT ALWAYS EASY. IT REQUIRES THE RIGHT RESOURCES TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE. AURORA OFFERS UNPARALLELED KEY RESOURCES TO TAKE A VISION AND MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE. OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM OF GOVERNMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF GETTING BIG THINGS DONE.”

The City of Aurora said in a statement that after the letter was sent, “representatives of the Chicago Bears organization responded quickly and positively.”
