Arlington Park is a horse race track in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, Illinois. Horse racing in the Chicago region has been a popular sport since the early days of the city in the 1830s, and at one time Chicago had more horse racing tracks (six) than any other major metropolitan area. Arlington Park was the site of the first thoroughbred race with a million-dollar purse in 1981. It is located conveniently near the Illinois Route 53 freeway.

Arlington Park Video

American Idol Singer Lee DeWyze gives a very emotional homecoming concert before 40000 fans at Arlington Park. Before the concert the village of Mount Prospect gave Lee a parade. Lee was never expecting this when he arrived in his home town. His emotions of the moment during this concert led to him to break down several times. And the crowd loved him even more for it.
