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.

I'm OK with them moving if the team pays for it. It's not like closing down Wrigley. Soldier Field isn't Arrowhead. I'd fight that one tooth and nail.

Museum of science and industry was really neat.
But with that being said, we’ve been there enough for my lifetime. I hate driving thru there and all the damn toll roads to get there. Only time we go to Chicago now is to the airport!

I went to Soldier Field for Mahomes first year of starting, preseason game. We got our ass kicked by Chase Daniel. I thought the stadium was ok

I have a customer that has season tickets, I tried to get him to sell me tickets to Chiefs/Bears game the year we won the SB. He wouldn’t do it, he wanted to see Mahomes play! And Mahomes slaughtered them! I believe that was the game Mahomes counted to 10 on his fingers.
I've been to every Chiefs game played at Soldier Field since 1996. The Mahomes preseason game was definitely a letdown. Made me wonder if his performance the prior week was a fluke.

Clearly I was mistaken.

Then a few years ago, Northwestern and someone played a game at wrigley and they had to stop and switch ends, because there was not enough room past the end zone.

Cluster.

My grandma had season tix to the Bears since the early 60's. She was friends with Halas' wife.

My mom and uncle used to go to games there all the time as kids.

The old soldier field used to sit next to Jim Beluschi. Then when the alien spaceship invaded in 2001 her tix were moved up to the media deck and sat in front of the away team coaches/press box. Sat in front of Gun and Solari, Mitch and Lenny during that 2007 season where Bowe jumped in front of TonyG and snagged away that TD iirc. A buddy i went to the game with used to intern at KMBC9 under Lenny when he was still there doing sports and so we got to sit in the press box for a little and shoot the shit...only Chiefs fans in the section since everyone else there were STH so we stuck out. Fun times.

I didn’t know that the Bears had the smallest stadium in the league. That doesn’t seem right for one of the league’s largest markets.

Nagy is the walking dead there. He’s most likely gone if he loses to Detroit on Sunday

Bears fans were sending apology tweets to Mitch Trubisky after Sunday's loss, saying they now know it was Nagy all along

Yeah.

It's been awhile since I've seen a game there, but I remember that it's not really set up for a fan experience like tailgating. I wonder if they expanded that aspect if they would draw more people in and justify having a 75-80K stadium? The Bears are NFL royalty due to their longevity if nothing else, they should have fans flooding in there every home game.

Anyone familiar with Soldier Field knows that the stadium itself is a dump. Location is nice but there isn't much room to expand or improve the facilities and I hear the accessibility of the stadium leaves a lot to be desired.

Build a new stadium for da Bears.

If he’s a bad coach, he’s a bad coach. But I think they’re under the impression that he’s some Adam Gase mother****er, and that’s just not quite true.

It can get a lot worse than Matt Nagy. John Fox, for example. Or Dick Jauron. Or whatever sad sack pieces of crap they’ve employed over the years
