    This looks AMAZING, and I'm sure a family of four can save for years and years just to get the chance to go to one game. Including parking, food, drinks, and game tickets that will cost that family of four a cool $2000 or maybe $4000 by the time it's completed.

      Especially as your taxes will spike to pay for this! Let the 100 year old billionaire and her family pay for it. Tell the city of Chicago to sell the land and building to them for what they would pay in Arlington Heights and the cost of a new stadium after renovations. Otherwise Chicago may as well kiss their team goodbye and make plans to commute a whole (gasp) 30 minutes into the suburbs

    Ownership of their Own Stadium
    would greatly increase profits.

    Though I may be a Packers fan, I say that the Bears should do whatever they can to keep playing at soldier field. Like Wrigley it's an iconic stadium that's been around with the bears for years! It has a lot of meaning to not only the people of Chicago but every Bear's player that ever played in that stadium. Without it, Chicago would lose one of the most historically significant stadiums to its history. Where with Wrigley Field and kept their original stadium alive and well, I hope and pray the Bears can do the same. Also having Chicago be able to host a Superbowl would actually be really cool too!

    A renovation that reduced the seating capacity to the smallest in the NFL and cost Soldier Field its landmark status.
    THAT is why the Bears are leaving.
    In the former location of the South Works steel mill you have a vacant 415 acre site on the lakefront that could be given to the Bears and let them build their own stadium but that is way too close to the crime problems that plague the South Side.

      That is not accurate that the city did something different from what the Bears wanted in 2002, the city gave the Bears everything they wanted. Seating capacity isn't important to teams anymore its all about premium seating that they can sell to corporations and extremely high net worth individuals.

With this redevelopment it could attract a big time college football championship games, the super bowl, even world cup soccer games and even gives the city of Chicago and advantage for any Olympics bid... The problem here is that the property is owned by the city of Chicago.... And the Chicago Bears & the NFL will not allow all of this redevelopment that ONLY raises a revenue for the city of Chicago without a true partnership.... Instead of letting the Chicago Bears by the property in Arlington Heights the greedy city of Chicago should have thought about selling the lakes front property which Soldier Field currently stands on.... Also figured out a deal with the city on redevelopment for mass transit hub, hotels and convention center... Now they want to put out this proposal to keep Chicago's beloved team in the city when it might be a little too late....

    I'm kind of on the fence on this one.
    On the one hand, it's a great presentation. Quite imaginative. Something that the city has been talking about for decades and should be built.
    But on the other hand, I don't think it would work for the Bears in that I strongly suspect that the Bears are looking for ownership of their facility. Not just be a lead tenant (paying rent to the City). For the teams history, they've never owned their own stadium. With Arlington Heights, they finally will. I think that's what's truly driving the Bears.
    But the facility should be built. The transit portion would work beyond belief. The dome would give the city yet another year round facility that generates revenue for the city.

    • @larrywynn505

      The point is : a major tenant (like the Bears) is needed for ROI.
      If the Bears want to own their own stadium, they should pay for it ON THEIR OWN.
      Don't stop them. They've made tons of money using Soldier Field and Chicago. Now.... let them move.
      Recruit another NFL franchise to play in Soldier Field.

    • @larrywynn505

      Mstephens - Bingo! The Bears want their own stadium, BUT they want Chicago taxpayers to pay for it.
      This is the team that traded Roquan Smith, Kahlil Mack and ____Quinn. They did it to save $$$, not invest in it. The Bears want Chicgo to GIVE them money!
      The McCaskeys care about enriching THEMSELVES, not entertaining Chicago fans.
      I say, let them go to Arlington Hts. And Chicago should find another team who wants to play in Soldier Field.

    I was for the bears going to Arlington, but with this new stadium and the addition of adding One Central to the project now has me changing my mind. I just hope One Central gets the towers that was included inside the original concept. The only way this happens is if the bears stay, fingers crossed. I didn’t vote for lightfoot but she’s turning up the entertainment Chicago has been lacking, with Bally’s Resort Entertainment Casino and hopefully this I think will do wonders for this world class city.

    As much as people want to ooh and aah about all these new amenities, I can't stand all these new stadiums. Domes take away the weather and atmosphere from games, which is part of what makes a game in Chicago so great. Those cold weather, snowy, foggy, etc games which are so iconic just can't happen when you have a dome. Outside of that, I don't need a world class hot dog that will cost me as much as a steak on 95th floor of the John Hancock building, I just want a good ole chicago dog that is reasonable, filling, and gives me the runs the next day. Which takes me to my next point, I'm never going to be able to go to this place even if I pay the taxes to build it. This is a place for the super rich with tons of suites and clubs, but no seating for the die hard fans. The cheapest tickets will end up being $1000, pricing out pretty much anybody who actually cares about the game being played. This is why LA doesn't have fans, how can you be a fan if you know you have to save up for years just to get 5 tickets to see a game with your family.
