On October 13, 1927, around 20,000 spectators braved the elements to attend the inaugural thoroughbred equestrian event at Arlington Park. Almost 100 years later, the iconic venue for horse racing was chipped away by a wrecking ball. The rich history of Arlington has now come to a sad end. Why?

Erasure of infinite recollections

Described as “the most beautiful track in America”, the Arlington Racecourse has braved many adversities during its existence. However, the 326-acre large property is now crumbling under the weight of a $200 million deal.

The demolition of the Arlington Racecourse began on June 16, 2023. It was after Churchill Downs Inc. sold the property to Chicago Bears for $197.2 million. Chicago Bears are going to build themselves a new dome and entertainment center instead of the horse racing track.
