273: The Impact of a Potential New NFL Stadium in Your Destination with Heather Larson

Heather Larson, the president and CEO of Meet Chicago Northwest, joins Adam on today's episode to talk about her background and how she got into tourism after leaving the workforce to be a stay-at-home mom. Adam and Heather also talk about the Chicago Bears and their potential new stadium in Arlington Heights, a northwestern suburb of Chicago. Listen in for a discussion on the pros and cons of this new building and its potential economic impact. "So it's not just the ten games a year. If they build, say, a 70,000-person stadium, with 70,000 seats, and then when you have concerts, you can fill in the lawn area and fill it with more, right? So that kind of economic impact is just going to be a game changer." - Heather Larson Meet Chicago Northwest Follow the Destination Marketing Podcast on social media: Instagram Twitter YouTube TikTok Subscribe to our newsletter!
