Chicago Bears Announce Major Investment in City, Unveiling New Stadium Plans
Investment and Project Highlights
The Chicago Bears have announced plans to remain in Chicago and invest over $2 billion in a transformative project that will increase public open and green space while providing a state-of-the-art stadium experience.
South Side Redevelopment
The new stadium will be located south of Soldier Field, on the current South Parking lot. Renderings released by the team show a domed stadium with open space access, significantly expanding public recreational areas in the surrounding community.
Political Support
Mayor Brandon Johnson has expressed strong support for the project, working closely with the Bears to ensure its successful implementation. The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and stimulate economic growth in the city.
Abandoned Arlington Heights Project
In a reversal of earlier plans, the Bears have abandoned their proposed move to Arlington Heights, opting instead to invest in the South Side of Chicago. This decision marks a significant victory for city officials and residents who had advocated for the team's retention.
