- CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Bears on Wednesday will unveil their multi-billion-dollar plan for a new domed lakefront stadium, including added green space on the Museum Campus.
The Bears will finally shed light on what they are calling a "state-of-the-art, publicly owned enclosed stadium" along the lakefront.
Joined by Mayor Brandon Johnson and other local leaders, the team will unveil their plans at noon on Wednesday at their current home stadium, Soldier Field.
According to a report from the Chicago Tribune, the plan will ask taxpayers to kick in half of the costs to build a new $3.2 billion domed stadium and $1.4 billion in infrastructure improvements on the Museum Campus, where Soldier Field is located.
The team said last month it was prepared to put more than $2 billion dollars in funding towards a publicly owned stadium, but the Bears' plan reportedly includes $2.3 billion in public financing.

Even with a nice new stadium, the Bears will still lose to the Packers...
I’m totally against being taxed for ANY MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS TEAM.
However, grammar and high school sports teams are perfectly fine to be taxed for as long as it’s across the board completely.
They haven't paid for the current renovation done in 05 ish
What’s an NFL?!
Cutting out all the hyperbole and B.S. the taxpayers of Chicago are under enormous stress, our real estate taxes are going through the roof. The Bears are a multi billion dollar business if they want a new stadium, fine as long as not one penny of tax payer money is used. What makes this all the worse is that our interests, as citizens, is being shepherded by a mayor who, to date, has shown a high level of incompetence and a total lack of transparency. I hear Arlington Heights calling and I would hope the Bears heed their call. NO TAXPAYER MONEY FOR BILLIONAIRE FRANCHISES!
As a taxpayer and longtime homeowner,I’d rather contribute to this project, than have my money support these Migrants…
@@bigblack4001 so you believe in welfare for billionaires? I want my money to go for fixing streets, replacement of critical infrastructure that supports the entire community, redevelopment, etc. not to transfer my money to those who have more than they know what to do with. No welfare for billionaires and millionaires!
Not in my town but it would ok use teachers pension fund and city workers pension and the NFL can pay for it tax little people who will never see a game or wants too. People like football to day tomorrow not promising bills will need to be paid back how do you do that with no income
I see All the Negative comments, but I'M here to tell EACH ONE OF YOUs, IT'S A NEW DAY FOR THE BEARS AND TERRIBLE NEWS FOR THE DIVISION.. that's what we been waiting for. DOME..
When did we start rewarding losers
