The bears should have done what the packers did and had a soft renovation. Although the packers did their renovation after soldier field was fully renovated it would keep the nostalgia to the stadium.
Sad state of football stadium architecture that we’re living through. MLB went through this in the ‘70s, but finally, starting really with Baltimore, then Pittsburgh, returned to old school style baseball parks with modern amenities. The horseshoe shaped, outdoor, arched facade, grass field stadiums: that’s football.
I do definitely want to see Soldier Field renovated and downsized to a soccer specific stadium. While no renderings of what that will look like have been released yet I really hope it removes the “spaceship” and restores the exterior to something much closer to its historical appearance
The new stadium should be called “Beetle Juice made us move stadium”. I don’t live in Chicago and I’m not a Bears fan so I’m dispassionate about the issue but teams move all the time. At least they’ll be in the suburbs instead of a completely new market. St. Louis is still without an NFL team.
I doubt this’ll happen or even proposed but Soldier Field should be a major reconstruction of a ballpark for the White Sox instead. Guarantee Rate Field is one of the worst ballparks in MLB.
The city didn't blow anything. In the modern day NFL, you need to control the entirety of your stadium revenue source. The Bears can't do that anywhere in Chicago unless they want to purchase property south of Comiskey Park. City owned land on the lakefront is priceless. And why would the city want to line the pockets of the McCaskey family by giving or leasing land for pennies on the dollar. What team of any value in a city of any value plays near downtown? The Steelers, please. The Panthers? Seattle built those stadiums before that city's tech boom, and Seattle isn't Chicago. The Lions play downtown but who cares. about that area. The Bears moving to Arlington Heights is just a matter of economics in today's sports world.
Redo the lowest bowl into Soccer Specific sight line, and turn the field into a FIFA approved dimensions and the Chicago Fire 🔥 will have the best Soccer Specific Stadium in the MLS 😁
Hello Arlington Heights Bears then… Bears officially have no connection to Chicago in any way shape or form. They don't practice in Chicago. Their training camp isn't in Chicago and now their Stadium isn't going to be in Chicago. This has actually become a snobbish suburban team. What a zzzzzz suburb to move any team to
Return of the King!
I subscribed to you earlier this week. It's nice to see you're creating videos again!

Nice to see you back! I agree The city blew it and now this will affect them for the next half century!

Fuck that! Go back to Wrigly Field where real football was played.
Sad part is no matter how this turns out it will still be the Beard … 😂
Love this channel, glad to see you back at it
Chicago should concentrate on cutting down its high crime rate. Bears would be better off in Arlington and so would their fans🤔

It's like they tried to have Cinncinati or Cleveland but got Colombus.

I don't see the Bears moving into a new stadium for about a decade…
