A roof on Soldier Field could be possible, but cost and tradition make it unlikely

- A roof on Soldier Field could make winter games warmer and bring Chicago a step closer to hosting a Super Bowl. But is it even possible?

As a Bucs fan, I'm envious of what the Dolphins did for Hard Rock Stadium. Best of both worlds for southern teams. Outdoor elements and almost all fans are covered.
Bucks stadium looks cool though. I’m not from Florida so other that being really hot at games because of no roof I would love to watch a game there.
There’s talk that the bears might move into a new stadium in Arlington Heights. I think they should move to that stadium in bridgeview.
that wouldn't work in the northern climates because of snow and wind. If they put covers like that on any outdoor stadiums, the snow would swirl and swirl all around making kicking virtually impossible. The wind would come over the stadium and than drop in and snow would be depos
What a lousy renovation. It looks like a toilet bowl.
At least Green Bay did it right with theirs.
Hell naw the bears did fuck up but the Packers did do it
Chicago needs a Sofi Stadium design like LA has, covered but still is open air in the end zones. Can be cold, but no snow to affect game and fans.
Facts
Fk that, football was made for the elements.
Putting a dome on Soldier Field would be like straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
What a butchering, you had a classic design yet put an alien ship on top of it
What we're they gonna do? Make the pillars bigger and just build up? Moron
No roof. We need the cold weather
Patrick O'Donnell because come December and January, those warm weather teams don’t stand a chance. Rams last year? They weren’t ready. Btw nice punting.
SquidParty Exaclty
SquidParty like the bears actually play in January 😂😂😂
LMAOOO
Jason_loco14 How bout them cowboys 😂
not a Bears fan, but a roof on Soldier Field would be disgusting. When I think of Bears football, I think of "COLD"!
Or on December 31, 1988, pea soup.
Steeler fan here, bears are meant to be in the cold.
Retractable roof and more seats! Soldier Field has already lost it's National Landmark status, might as well make most of the current stadium or build a new one.
Chicago NEEDS to host a Superbowl. The Bears are one of the oldest teams in the leagues and the fact that it will likely never get to host the big game is annoying. Plus a roof would help with increasing revenue for the stadium like basketball tournaments, BIG 10 conference championships, and concerts.
Patrick O'Donnell the Cardinals are the oldest
Out Above no roof. It takes away our advantage in December and January against warm weather teams
@@Harrja Cardinals and bears are actually founded on the same day and year so they are both the oldest NFL team
@LinedStorm they both are charter members of the NFL, but the Cardinals were a team before the NFL’s formation.
@@jvjustvibes9103 same here in Buffalo New York they're trying to get us a new stadium indoors. That takes away the Mystique of the Buffalo Bills playing in Buffalo in December and January worked in our advantage just like it did for Chicago
I remember seeing a clip with the L.A. Rams kicker on the sideline just before the 1985 NFC Championship game started saying "they should put a dome over this place."
Ritchie Todd, Mike Lansford was the Rams kicker I believe at the time, I remember before that game the Bears defense guaranteed they would make Dickerson fumble and he did, Twice.
Do NOT put a roof on it, but pls we do need a new stadium
If they did add a roof, it would have to be a canopy, similar to what Seattle has on their baseball stadium. It would technically keep the field outdoors, so you would still have a cold weather game, but keep precipitation from piling up on the field.
No roof ...No Super Bowl.
Might as well. The stadium all ready looks fucked up after the redesign anyways
I'm not a fan of the new design
Don't do it! Im a Lions fan and outdoor football is just WAY better. Ford field is intense on gamedays but would be even better outdoors.
i love soldier field.. but they ruined it, and a new stadium should be discussed in the next couple of years.
Why hasn't there been a Super Bowl in Chicago before? And what does that have to do with the fact that the stadium needs a roof so that a Super Bowl can take place there? There have been many superbowls where the weather was really bad and the roof didn't help much.
I'm in Detroit, the Ford family is trying to figure a way to remove the roof at Ford Field to host MLS soccer franchise. I hope the Bears keep Soldier Field open air.
That makes no sense I would think Ford Field with a roof makes it MORE appealing for an Mls franchise 🔥
Lmao build a soccer stadium hmm??? Plus it would be expensive to take the roof off
@@Brandon-qd2lb They still have the land available at the failed Wayne County jail site, it could still happen. MLS don't want Ford Field because it's not a open air facility.
@@7mileDem its gonna be a while before det gets a team mls just put three teams that has not even played yet. They have a better chance of straight up buying one then relocating it.

Here's my take: Green Bay doesn't have a roof, so we don't need one.
Can you imagine green bay playing the playoffs at home with a fricking roof? thats impossible
You’re really comparing a mega city like Chicago to Green Bay?
Soldier Field was essentially a tear-down and rebuild. It's Soldier Field 2.
Yes put a roof over the field but a retractable one. So you can host the Super Bowl
soldier field doesnt have enough seating to hold a superbowl....not that this particularly matters anymore.
Please don’t put a roof on this... It would ruin soldier field
Why would they do that?, We're talking about the Chicago Bears here, Its bad enough the Vikings and Lions play indoors as well as the Colts, The NFL is not the same league I grew up on.
they should be more worried about their QB
More capacity like till 89,000
Why not do a story how the Bears were forced to scale back what they wanted to do? And how Soldier is a reminder to NFL owners on what not to do? Look at the stadiums that followed. Soldier Field is an EYESORE!!! Smallest seating capacity in the NFL's 3rd largest market, worst turf in the league
It was the same debate when the Eagles wanted to replace Veterans Stadium: be an open stadium and forgoe having Philadelphia host the Super Bowl, or build a dome or retractable roof facility and be in the running for a Super Bowl. And like the Bears and Packers, Philadelphia chose to make Lincoln Financial Field an outdoor stadium. MetLife Stadium was just fortunate to have halfway decent weather for the only outdoor cold-weather Super Bowl to date.
Yeah luck
Not if the Arlington Heights Bears have something to say about it.
Great video! Very interesting. The only thing I'd consider an option to put a roof is hosting a Super Bowl. Nevertheless, Soldier Field is amazingly historic.
Aesthetically its an ugly stadium renovated on the cheap.
Chicago needs a better stadium yeah soldier field is iconic but no one really cares for that old building that’s why we never get major events because it’s so old and not unique to Chicago it may be “unique” but it really isn’t
No!!!!!!what the heck are these people crazy
I'm not a bears fan but no roof. Chicago is a blue collar city and playing in the cold and crushing folks with the defense is their M.O.
I actually love the way it looks.
I hope that the wwe wrestlemania 40 right here🤘🤘🤘
No a bigger stadium is definitely needed they have thee oldest and shortest stadium. A new one is much needed not only that George Halas was even talking of owning his own stadium. Unless the governor of Chicago is going to sale Soldier Field to the owners of the Bears I say they should move to have there own stadium. They’d make way more money owning there own stadium
There's more involved in this whole relocating issue, than the stadium or otherwise, more people know. I say, Bears should move to AH; it's not like it's the first time the team moved it in their entire history. It better to build a new one than butcher SF once again. It's time to move out of Chicago.
I hope the Bears move to New Mexico.
You can add a Building to a Building. But can you remove a terrible part of the Building from a Building?
What’s cool is that the thing with the poles is still there
Should of put a retractable dome over Solider Field! Just because of this very poor decision there will never be a Super Bowl nor Final Four in my Chicago!
Yeah but it really drives away free agents that don’t like playing in the cold , plus the superbowl can be hosted here. No one likes playing here simply because of the weather.
But no problem with an new indoor stadium in Arlington heights.
Why would a cold weather team ever want a covered field? And how many snow games has Chicago had in the last 50 years anyway? My answer...not enough! Personally, I think the Bears want out of high crime, high tax Chicago proper.
They need to built a new one period
This is better than the jags stadium
ted phillips’s claim to fame is the stadium deal which looks like a spaceship took a dump in the middle of the roman coliseum.
600 million Dollars should been a New stadium not Rehab only Chicago
It football was meant to be played indoors, their would be a roof. Nuff said
Wish they could go back to Wrigley
Is time to make a roof or dome
No roof we are 🐻
Yuck no....rain, snow, and sunny days are the best environment for football!
Need more seat capacity and host Wrestlemania
Could a roof on Soldier Field may also mean an NCAA Final Four finally in Chicago (with the Women’s at United Center since the NCAA should host both in one city instead of two)?
@Dorian Arnold Chicago has hosted Wrestlemania three times so far, but all of them at the Allstate Arena.
No roof. Bears are a winter team under the cold elements.
I think the new stadium is a modern marvel. It’s un symmetrical design makes it unique. And its one of my favorite stadiums for the reason.
CHICAGO RODEO! HEE HAW!
Does this say tradition? Look what they did to the place. It's a crime against culture. Soldier Field was truly historic. Should've built a new stadium.
Don't do it
Retractable probably
Why would anyone want a roof stadium? Retractable, okay. Just having a dome stadium is outdated.
Totally butchering of historical land mark, imagine if this was done to Wrigley Field. And I am not a Cubs fan or a Bares fan
It would cost way too much money 💰💰. Cheaper to tear down and build a new one soldier field. In the future some time. After this whole coronavirus thing is more under control
Cities typically want the taxpayers to pay for a new stadium that's why that shit looks ugly now
Just bulldoze it over and build something better. But I'll be in Florida haha
Move. .................
The redesign looks great to me. It is a far cry from the original stadium but is more up to date with the city.
It sure has better sightlines.
Absolute no
This didn't age well....a waste of 600mil.
Wait this team wanted the stadium to expand because they need more revenue ok. Everytime the need something done we pay for it .Now all these demands and yet the product they have put on the field has been awful. Look at the packers stadium nothing has been really done and they won how many super bowls .Now they want to move the team all of this for money etc yet they keep losing they suck why does the public keep supporting this. I'm sort of a fan just sick of tired of losing we cant even beat the packers .Get rid of the team bring another team that can win.
Chicago being cheap and shows
They already butchered the first renovation.
