  • The Chicago Bears unveiled plans for a new stadium on the city's lakefront Wednesday afternoon, the newest update in a years-long process by the NFL franchise to replace Soldier Field with a state-of-the art venue that would allow Chicago to host major sporting events like the Super Bowl and the NCAA Final Four. WGN's Christine Flores reports on the latest details.

    There are so many billionaires that could invest in this project. The Pritzkers, Ken Griffin, Jordan, Oprah. Leave tax payers out of this. The 1% has it.

    Tell Kevin Warren the goal is to win a Super Bowl not exactly host one.

      Despite what fans think, The real point of professional sports is profit. To make money first and foremost. Not obtain pieces of metal

    Why..why...why..do so many owners want to destroy their gems, such as Soldier Field and build these big ass stadiums!? It's not effing Disneyland! You're just going to see a football game! Also, football was meant to be played OUTDOORS, in all weather conditions! It's fine the way it is! Soldier Field is a true treasure of Chicago! Just make enhancements, upgrades instead of building a 4 billion dollar fiasco! If this goes through, only the very rich will be able to pay to watch football in Chicago starting in 2028! The people of Chicago are the only ones that can stop this by putting it on the ballot and vote on it, just like Kansas City did with it's proposed downtown stadium. I guarantee you that Iron Mike would agree with everything I just said!

      Because it’s a business it’s about making money, football won’t be the only event bringing revenue from that stadium, concerts & other events such as wrestling

      It’s not the original Soldier Field. That Stadium was torn down. They only kept the columns and kept the name. The new Stadium is going to be great

    Sign me up! Excited to give up a large portion of my pay for this! This is one of the few things we can all rally around. Money will come back to the community in the future.

    …and how much “new” sales tax revenues are they projecting for this venture or is this a one for one swap? Do they expect a couple of mixed use public ball\green spaces to generate increased revenue for the city? Just wondering.

    Not a dime from taxpayers and charge Bears for using public property at going rates.

      Thinking tax payers paying a portion when most can’t afford tickets to the game. Attending professional sports events are for the upper middle class and the rich

      ​@@brandon7913pretty much, Bears game tickets are fucking overpriced to the max. The gall of the j e w esque cheap McCaskey family to want the taxpayer dollars on the table here. Lol this city's priorities are all out of whack
