Chicago is Back on the Menu as Bears Look to Remain in City

It's been a little over a year since the Bears closed on the Arlington Heights property. Despite the challenges, the team has steadfastly committed to its desire for a revamped, state-of-the-art stadium. While many expected the team to follow through on its initial goal of developing the site into a multi-faceted project, a litany of hurdles have prevented the Bears and team President Kevin Warren from following through with their initial plan. 

On Monday, the Bears announced they would pivot from Arlington and keep the Bears within Chicago's city limits. The team's decision to privately invest over $2 billion into a stadium project is not just a relocation, but a promise of a better future for the team and its fans. The proposed new domed stadium, located south of the current location of Soldier Field, will create 20% more space on the museum campus for public use year-round, offering a more immersive and enjoyable experience not just on game day but throughout the year.
