AURORA (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The Bears have another suitor looking to woo the team away from Chicago.

Aurora is the latest suburb throwing its proverbial “hat in the ring,” quoting from a letter sent to the team.

“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,” wrote Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin.

Aurora joins Arlington Heights, Naperville, and Waukegan in attempting to lure the Bears.

Although the team bought the Arlington Park Race Track property, it has said that is not its “singular focus.”
