Any thoughts on the Bears leaving Soldier Field?
It's been out there for a couple weeks now, but we haven't really talked about it.

I guess the team bought an old horse track or something in Arlington Heights and tried to be secretive about it. Local media caught wind and the response was, "It's good to keep our options open"

The mayor gave a pretty good response, "Maybe you should worry more about beating the Packers than getting out of your Soldier Field lease."

People have brought up a pretty good point. Soldier Field is iconic, but it's a tiny ass stadium, and its glory as a historic stadium kind of got shit on when they renovated it into a mutant spaceship years ago. Getting a nice big indoor place like the Vikings' new digs would allow them to host Final Fours and all that jazz, too.

And at the same time, the economics are pretty clear that tax payer-funded stadiums aren't good community investments at all. They don't stimulate shit for economic growth compared to the cost of building them.

If the Bears build themselves a stadium rather than extorting the city to do it for them, then I am all in favor of such a move. Professional sports teams should never be allowed to force cities to build their facilities for them.

"The Bears are locked into their Soldier Field lease until 2033. If they bail before then, the team will be on the hook to the Park District for $5 million a year for the remainder of the agreement."

Objectively, 5 million a year is chump change to an NFL team, probably even the McCaskeys.

Some teams spend twice that much just on fines from the NFL for their work place environment.

You got that right! I STILL can't believe they passed on Mahomes and Watson for Trubisky.

Soldier Field is a dump... it seems to be in a nice area, but the actual stadium is terrible (the renovations they did about 20 years ago were an epic fail).

Don't care.
Locals might care, but watching on TV, all football fields pretty much look the same and they aren't "part of the game." It's not like baseball with distinctive stadiums/fields like Fenway and Wrigley (which are both kind of dumps).

That is what I was going to ask. Maybe then it is time for them to bail. Unless the move somewhere for three years, destroy soldier field, and rebuild it.

I think they tried to do what Lambeau and Arrowhead did in terms of keeping the iconic stadium framework, while doing major renovations inside of the stadium but it was an epic failure.

They either have to try that strategy again and hope for better results or do a total teardown.

Landing a UFO on top of a coliseum wasn't the best choice towards preserving the icon
