Mayor Brandon Johnson said he wants to keep the Bears in Chicago as the NFL franchise floats interest in potentially moving to a suburb other than Arlington Heights. Johnson made the comments at an unrelated news conference when asked about the Bears flirting with a move to Naperville as the franchise’s push for state financial support and property tax breaks has stalled. The mayor did not offer specifics about how he can convince the team to remain in Chicago, but said it’s important to “have conversations.” “I grew up with the ‘Super Bowl Shuffle.’ As I would say, as older people would say to young people when I was young, ’85 Bears, Super Bowl shuffle, y’all don’t know nothing about that,” said Johnson, who was raised in suburban Elgin.
