Aurora suggests the Bears relocate to the state's second-largest city with letter touting city's amenities.
Add Aurora to the growing list of suburbs that have invited the Chicago Bears to consider as part of the NFL franchise's relocation plans.

The Bears have begun demolition of Arlington Park and are seeking the property tax bill reduced to $4.3 million, while school district officials have recommended $7.9 million.
