In 2021, the Chicago Bears of the NFL shocked the world by announcing they were purchasing the Arlington Heights Race Track in the Chicago Suburbs to build a new stadium and mixed use development. However the property taxes ended up being too high than the Bears liked and they brought in new president Kevin Warren, who shifted the teams focus.

Good luck putting a new stadium on the lakefront next to the old one. As long as those conservation groups are around, they will tie it up in courts for a long time.
Yeah, they stopped the George Lucas museum.
They won’t stop this too much money involved
@@KeithEasley-vc1mb I really hope so. Chicago has too much to lose if this stadium doesn’t get built in that location
Ain't going to happen.
Friends of the Parks has a lot of power
Better sweet talk.AH into a favorable deal.
Go to Arlington Heights. Team will own it, and can develop it as they see fit.
White Sox/baseball teams should be in the city and needs to be walkable
This video would have been out this morning except for the breaking news today. Good thing I decided to not release it last night I guess.
Thanks for the update. Would you do a video on the Louisville Gardens?
I don't think anything is wrong with Soldier Field. Maybe the Whie Sox do need a new ballpark but in general both stadiums are fine. It ain't Oakland CA
The White Sox already got a new replacement of old Caminski Park.
8:44 - I remember that the Bears played their NFL season at U.Illinois while their Soldier Field home was being rebuilt.
15:22 - What is this big flat building in the foreground?
Besides how it looks like a UFO, the stadium is so small. When I try to get food or use the restroom, it is so packed.
Yep.
They crammed a new stadium between the columns instead of moving to a different site.
What an absolute joke.
As an Illinois resident and taxpayer, it infuriates me that both of these franchises are coming back to the state with their hands out after getting a new stadium (White Sox) and a renovation (Bears).
All of their problems are due to poor planning and execution. New Comiskey became dated the second Camden Yards opened, and I'm not sure what the Bears were thinking with that ridiculous renovation? Now they want more money?
If the Bears can actually put together $2 billion in private money, then use that money to build a stadium on the land that they own in Arlington Heights. If not, too bad! Maybe the economic oasis that is Northwest Indiana is a better option. Or, they can leave the third biggest market in the country, which would immediately lower the value of the franchise. Either way, they deserve absolutely no public money, especially since the taxpayers are still on the hook for the Soldier Field renovation.
I generally share the same sentiment with using taxpayer money for stadium construction. Although being a SUD Grad student I'd feel more comfortable with teams using taxpayer money if the state passed a law requiring any stadiums built with public money to be Certified Carbon Zero, just like Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Additionally I'd like any new stadiums to be covered in and powered by Solar Panels, and for any excess energy on nongame days be sent back to the grid
Good Job on your research on this video & the details you put in 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🍾
Yes!!! Just tear down soldier field, build a new retractable roof or domed soldier field stadium in it's place (with the newer old style soldier field roman type of columns, the older roman style colums may not be supported by a retractable roof dome very well), build public transit & parking too/around the stadium, temporarily play in the newer ryan field stadium in evanston, il & memorial stadium in champaign, il temporarily (don't laugh, they've done it before) & get the newer retractable roof stadium with the newer style romam columns built into it by the 2027-2030 seasons & let's get the city of chicago to host a super bowl!! The city of chicago can handle the crowds, has the highways, the hotel rooms & plenty of stuff to do to make a great super bowl weekend with that new stadium & the downtown skyline & lakefront views. As yes folks, the newer stadium would have to be domed or retractable roofed (i prefer retractable roofed so "da bears" & the fans could play/be in the elements & cold whenever they deem it necesssary) with the style of the old soldier field & the roman type of columns incorporated into it. If mayor brandon johnson wants to finally do something right, make the bears new downtown stadium happen. You'll be cold as heck walking in that chicago hawk/wind to the stadium, but you'll be warm & cozy inside of it under the dome of the new stadium.
Never understood why all the domes are in the south....... Where you don't really need it.
Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo are some of the most insufferable cities in terms of temperatures, wind and snow........
I'm convinced they have some BDSM type weather fetish........ At least Detroit had common sense
All that just to watch the Bears lose! 😂😂😂
Ain't going to happen because of the columns.
Funny how one stadium today costs 1000X more than entire Manhattan Island did back in the day.
Union labor.
Bears need to move to Arlington
What will they do with an empty Soldier Field? I thought you can’t tear it down because it’s a historical landmark.
That's what i thought. That's the same reason they can't tear down the Astrodome.
They're talking about tearing the stadium down but keeping the columns and the south wall.
Exactly what they should have done in 2002.
Instead they landed a spaceship on. Soldier Field.
@@user-jf4nj3ez2k just tear it all down
@@christopherweise438 who says they can't tear down the Astro dome? They can but it would be I mistake. Do you know who owns the Astrosdome? Livestock and Rodeo.
@@user-jf4nj3ez2kthey can gut it out and do a million things with it. Including micro sizing it with a dome. Great place for hockey and mutiple ideas.
Dang, a 35-seat baseball stadium? I knew the White Sox had very few fans, but geez!
In seriousness, it’ll be interesting to see how the situation plays out between the Bears, White Sox, and Fire… they’re all very connected due to the ages of their stadiums, and it’ll be interesting to watch how they interact with the city.
Dam.
How about aftter 2003 they made U. S. Cellular alot smaller by cutting off the last 8 rows of the upper deck.
The White Sox blow.
Hope Reinsdorf moves them to Nashville.
@@user-jf4nj3ez2kThey had to remove those seats because New Comiskey's upper deck is too far from the playing field. The first row of seats at New Comiskey's upper deck is higher up than the farthest row of seats at Old Comiskey's upper deck.
I think its a move to get the taxes lowered in Arlington Heights
Do you have a place to recommend videos? Cuz I think you should do the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, TX
Great research so professional
2:51 - What is the building at the right-back of Soldier Field?
Another twist in all of this is the Chicago Fire. Currently, they're waiting to see how the Sox and Bears situations play out. Joe Mansuato who owns the Fire is a billionaire and hasn't been afraid to spend recently. I wonder if he'll step in and contribute money for an NFL stadium on the condition the Fire also moves there. Think Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta
I think we'll see a compromise stadium: A Multipurpose dual sport stadium just like the 1960s/70s, complete with artificial turf if not a visible dirt diamond for the 1st month or two of football season.
No chance
If it’s multipurpose it will probably be football/soccer. The Bears and Fire probably might work together.
No way Jose
Yeah... I don't see it happening. White Sox might as well pack their bags for Indianapolis
❤the reds will stop that shit
Yeah, they can eat shit! All they’re good for is ripping out the hearts of half the citizens in Chicago, whereas the bears are supported worldwide.
"A typical 400,000 loan from the NFL" lol can't be right
Shame on you for putting the incorrect QB in the picture of the video.
I'm happy it is staying in Chicago. I am a cubs fan but even I hope Jerry sells the team.
And why do the white sox need a new stadium? Comiskey park/guaranteed rate field IS NOT THAT OLD!! Soldier field is, give the bears the new stadium.
I love my hometown Chicago 🥰💙🧡💯 GO CHICAGO BEARS
This will never happen. The Bears will move to Arlington Heights.
Two surprise scenarios, they move to Milwaukee or St. Louis
I'm not from Chicago or a Bears fan but aren't the Bears more popular than the Sox?
They are but you have to look at it from Jerry’s perspective to understand: “Oh shoot the city is giving out free money to build a new sports venue I’m raising my hand also”
@@mimusic1853 it's funny to me. Ok, Soldier Field is old but so is Lambo (I hate the Packers). Soldier Field is in the nation's 3rd largest city Lambo is in is the smallest city of all major sports and they make it work. But on the other hand, if anyone gets a new park it would be da Bears. The Sox played in Oid Comiskey for 80 years. Now, just over 30 years later, they want a new park. I have never heard of the Cubs wanting to replace Wrigley. That would be sacrilegious.
White Sox need to buy a team then talk about your field not the other way around
Not really.
Friends of the Parks will put a dtop to that shit.
Lol JF will be back
I fucking knew it, that the Bears were never going to go to Arlington, it's a Dead Zone over here specially when people are not willing to commute that long
Chicago needs knockdown old McCormick Place , it's an eye sore and the overpass on Lake Shore Drive is all rusted. It's just ugly and that would create more "green" for the weirdos of Friends of the Parks.
4:51 cook county being horrible as usual.
Good! The Bears deserve zero breaks.
A new stadium doesn't make a great team!!!
If I was McCaskey, Given the state of Chicago and their politics. there is no way I’d put that stadium anywhere near Chicago proper unless It was entirely publicly funded.
To sum it up, Bears are following culture and doing absolutely nothing.
Both Chicago and Illinois governments are in terrible fiscal shape along with business and population relocating due to the excessive tax burdens. Both The Bears and white Sox have steep hills to climb if they want to build new stadiums in the city.
Chicago's population is about the same as 2010.
Chicago has not won the bears back. The bears are using leverage
Really hope the bears get out of Chicago.
Why?
Unfortunately nothing was going to get done with the previous mayor. Still, Arlington Heights was a terrible idea from the beginning. Moving to the suburbs is such an 80s and 90s thing. Sports teams around North America have realized that they aren’t invincible and in many cases the reality is they need the city more than the city needs them. Governments have recognized it, started calling the bluff, and they’re getting away with it.
The Bears blow.
Too cheap to build their own stadium.
Poorly run team from top to bottom.
Will finish 4-13 this year.
