Chicago Bears leaders met with reporters Tuesday at Halas Hall to discuss the hiring of new president and CEO Kevin Warren.
“We want to make sure we get it right. We want to be methodical about it. We don’t want any surprises along the way.” 2. Warren’s experience building a stadium in Minnesota wasn’t a prerequisite but a bonus to his hiring. “That wasn’t something that we were specifically looking for. It was an asset that Kevin brought to the table,” McCaskey said of a president search that included more than 20 candidates. “We’re looking forward to his analysis of the site and the development opportunity in general.”
Outgoing Bears President and CEO Ted Phillips speaks after the team introduced his replacement, Kevin Warren, on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023, at Halas Hall. Warren said the space is one of the most remarkable aspects of the property. The Bears have plans to build an entertainment complex with the stadium should they develop the land.“You don’t get many times to have over 300 acres close to the city,” Warren said. “So there are some unique aspects. I know our focus will be making sure that we close on the land. We will be very methodical to make sure that we get that process done first and see what happens next.
local media questions to Warren were as soft as falling snow.
