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.

Man, 2012 Brian Daboll thinks that sucks shit. Lol, wow. And the Bears' defense sacked Mayfield 5 times to boot! Nagy's ass is feeling a bit warm today....

Smart of them to leave the City. They will have a much easier time building a stadium and other revenue makers outside of that city. I mean look at the BS the Cubs had to endure to renovate Wrigley Field.

Best thing that has ever happened to the Bears IMO.

The whole thing is a mess. Bears v. Chicago is sort of like the battle of Stalingrad - there are no good guys.

Bears ownership and management is awful. Between insanely trading up to get Trubisky, acquiring Mack, and then getting fleeced trading up to get Fields, Pace has squandered high draft picks like a drunken sailor at a titty bar, and it will be a couple of years until they're out from under that mess. Along the way they've run the team into the ground, alienated the fan base, and broken Nagy. And on the other side you've got the odious Mayor Beetlejuice and the city, which want to bleed the franchise and every other money-making entity dry.

I don't blame them for wanting to move, but every step of the process will be fought, litigated and certainly bungled by the Bears, Chicago, Arlington Heights, Cook County and the State of Illinois. It could be years before they even break ground on a new stadium.

This will be a disaster for everybody except the lawyers.

Build a new stadium for da Bears.

It's not that bad. This sort of reminds me of the Braves relocating from Turner Field to their new location at Truist. They've built a huge commercial area around the park, and it's in a much more desirable location and far more accessible to the wealthier parts of the fan base. The one thing Atlanta is missing is a good public transportation, but in this case you have established, mostly functional commuter train service from Chicago to Arlington Heights along with good highway access. I live in the western suburbs, and it's a lot easier to get to Arlington than downtown Chicago.

it'll be a good location for a potential Super Bowl, since it is not far from O'Hare. Very accessible.

Excellent point. I hadn't considered that.

Although early February in the Chicago area normally isn't very pleasant.

Only if it is an indoor stadium.

Chicago-area in February outdoors… no thanks.

The new stadium would have to be domed. Even the Bears aren't stupid enough to **** that up.

The current logistical set up isn't ideal but I just can't see many traveling from the city to the burbs or out of towners coming into Chicago for a game in the burbs. They can build the area up all they want but it would never match the location now. I'm not anti burb by any mean as I'm dumping this city for burb life in another state next year. Its just hard for me to imagine.

There is one certainty though, no matter the outcome Chicago will **** it up and make it worse for the most amount of people possible.

hosting a Super Bowl in Chicagoland is definitely a risk weather wise, but this new stadium proposal is in part being made in hopes of hosting a Super Bowl.

Lived north of Chicago(actually not far from Shaumburg/Arlington Heights) for two winters and yeah they were brutal, but for the most part they are pretty good at clearing snow. All that salt they dump on the roads.

That's a given. It's what they do.
