Let me get this straight. Instead of the city investing in businesses, police department, fire department, infrastructure, education, social work...they decide to throw their money at a football club that is worth billions of dollars.
@@stevenbrown3249 money diverted from militarizing the police was supposed to be spent on schools and social workers, not making the mccaskey’s richer.
No way is the price accurate. Just the rate of inflation will elevate the price by hundreds of millions of dollars. If they included the real cost over the 3+ years of the project, it would freak the public out even more. Plus it will be a 30 to 40 year financed project with tax payer money.
the Bears are about to get slapped with an injunction & lawsuit from friends of the parks.. it's illegal build on the lakefront. the governor already said there is no money for this... 2 strikes!
Spending all that money to play an inferior version of Rugby that the vast majority of the world doesn't give a damn about (hence the NFLs desperate attempt to globalize their league)
you have to take in account a lot of the roads are going to be reconfigured, that’s included in that infrastructure piece of the price. It’s not just the park
What roads? To the north is the museum campus. To the south is McCormick Place. To the east is the lake. To the west is train tracks. The only significant road near there is Lake Shore Dr. Any other roads are little more than glorified driveways.
This stadium is already a failure. In the presentation Kevin Warren said that in the basketball configuration the capacity is 77k, which means for football it’s about 70k and that’s way too small! Also, it will still be so painful to get to, public transit to that area isn’t good and there’s only one major road which is Lake Shore Drive.
Note that in the rendition there are many more corporate suites so that is the moneymaker while those fans now in the upper deck of Soldier Field will be higher and further away from the field. The parking and public transit will also be a disaster.
No parking is honestly why downtown kinda sucks. Public transportation: Chicago is not the safest city. Asking fans to "rely" on public services is a horrible idea. Can you imagine the train system on game day?
The current stadium is universally considered an architectural abomination and has been since the remodel. A disgrace to the old Soldier Field. I think this new one looks pretty good in the renderings myself.
@@joeshoe6184 The current stadium reflex’s what the building style was during that period. I’m sorry, but people thinking the stadium looks ugly isn’t the same thing as what happened to aloha Stadium. And trust me 20 years from now people will be saying the new stadium looks ugly. And this is something I think DG doesn’t get.
Soldier field is currently the NFL’s smallest stadium and oldest stadium. It’s bigger than football. Chicago wants to be able to host national events year round. Which they currently aren’t able to do.
@dougstewart6461 1. Thet you can still use USD to buy things so it's not dying 2. Inflation is not a currency dying 3. USD is doing better than other currencies the world over
I hope people wake the F up and start saying no. These owners are all wealthy enough to build their own projects. Jobs argument is total and utter bull crap, no new well paying jobs are created. The buildings for the most part don't generate enough return to justify the costs. Issue Bonds that the teams pay back, fine, asking for a free handout NO.
When u build a state of the art stadium, u can host all kinds of events like the Super Bowl, NFL Draft, Final 4, concerts, Wrestlemania, and all other kinds of championships...hotels, restaurants will be booming be say the least. Super Bowl alone can profit over a billion for the whole city.
Its NOT walk "2 or 3 blocks to the stadium, no problem" I live here. It's a horrible location for getting to. There's nothing around there. It's a weird, confusing, cluster ___k of an area. This idea SUCKS.
NOPE! They still (excuse me---WE still) owe of $600million on that. Fact. Look it up. SIX HUNDRED MILLION STILL ON THE BOOKS. They recently re-financed the debt and this past year paid virtually NOTHING on the principal (all interest). So there's your answer.
@@alexlindsey6446 I figured that was the case…I’m a jets fan and when they demolished the old Giants Stadium there was still 65 million owed on that building 🤦🏻♂️ such a scam
Why don't they charge a stadium fee for people that use it? I don't fish or hunt so I don't pay the licensing fees to pay for restocking rivers or game wardens and fish commisioners. You use it you pay for it, and you don't pay if you never use it.
Chicago was founded with the principle of keeping the lake shore open to the public. A stadium district should be a huge no. The stadium itself it lucky to be there. They should move this somewhere else and use that space for public parks as intended.
I think they did a good job of working parklands into the design. It actually looks more natural than the old Soldier Feild with acres upon acres of asphalt parking lots. I for one look forward to walking among the old columns unencumbered by the spaceship currently looming over them, and I assume this whole area will be open all the time. Look at the plans. There's alot of green.

Just a little insight cause I watched the press conference live and observed the live reaction. People were really disgusted with how the unveiling opened. A reverend came out and asked everyone to bow their heads and pray to God asking for his help getting money needed to pay for the stadium and asked God for help winning games and getting to the Superbowl. Truly pathetic and disgusting to watch. It was in horrible taste to ask God for money for a multi billionaire dollar vanity project when they are many more pressing issues to deal with in the city. You can see it for yourself. The press conference is still up in it's entirety on the official Chicago Bears RUclips channel. Not a good look for the Bears organization at all. Real bad.

PARKING?!?!?!?! AN hour long walk in late december through snow and 5 below zero to go into a dome and sweat your ass off because there wont be any room to take off your Parka.
I think there will be underground parking because there is already a ton of underground parking in this area and if you look at the renderings at 3:45 and 5:10 you can see a tunnel right in front of the field museum that could lead to underground parking
Chicago hasn’t come close to paying off the bonds from the last remodeling of Soldiers Field. The city is in a fiscal mess the last thing they can afford is a football stadium.
Chicago is gonna have open up a plethora of recreational dispensaries, strip clubs and pray balley’s casino can start generating revenue and stop wasting tax payers money on unessentials
I didnt realize how similar to Allegiant it was until I did a side by side. But what can you do? You need to build a football shaped stadium with a limited footprint and a translucent roof.
Parking is a massive issue. Last time I went to a Bears game we had to park then we took an Uber from the park car to the nearest point we could get dropped off and still had to walk at least half a mile.
NFL stadiums are the worst bang for your buck. $3B+ for 8 or 9 home games and maybe 1 or 2 playoff games per season. Someone tell Bears ownership there are still 365 days in a year. Yeah, I get that other events will take place there, but if the Bears ownership thinks the stadium will be such a cash cow, pay for it himself and reap the rewards. Same scam as it's been for decades now. Illinois politicians should call their bluff. The Bears would be nuts to move out of Chicago.
I don't understand why everyone is hating on the stadium proposal, we have the most toxic fan base ever. I don't think it would have matter what we do, people will still find a reason to hate it. People are not also understanding the full taxes part of it either and just spitting out ignorant comments.
@@Vonn99x two wrongs don’t make a right. Would definitely take a stadium over giving billions to Ukraine. Difference is Chicago is actually using our money vs the fed printing it and devaluing our dollar in the process
Yeah cause it cut cost on not having to design a new stadium from the ground up. this is exactly what they did in the 1970's with multi purpose stadiums, which is why they all looked the same.
I hear you on the interior design. Of all the firms, HOK does the best job on making the interiors for each of their NFL stadiums look different. They're designing the new Jags, and they also designed Mercedes Benz Stadium (Atlanta). Both of those stadiums look unique and different both from the inside and outside.
bears new stadium open in 2027 and no way 2028 it way it takes 4 years to build a stadium because l know it only takes 3 years to build then open in 2027 for real 🤔
@@HoshizakiYoshimasaStadiums with roofs get used for a ton of events. Go look up the current events scheduled by sofi stadium. It’s crazy how much they use sofi for.
This is a colossal ego trip for the new Bears' president, Kevin Warren. The site is a mistake as it is too congested. You are incorrect when you said there are no other buildings in the area. Soldier Field sits just south of the Museum Campus (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium) and just north of the city's major convention center, McCormack Place. Further, the nearby Metra train tracks (west) and Lake Michigan (east) further limit the construction footprint. The former Arlington Racetrack site (which the Bears own) makes much more sense and would probably cost far less money to build.
Wasn't the drawing of what Lori Lightfoot had in mind cheaper than what Kevin Warren showed today? I want the Bears to get a new stadium, and I want them to get the new stadium in Chicago. There's got to be a way to get this project done without infuriating taxpayers, while benefit the Bears, Chicago, and all those involved.
I think the stadium is tremendous people tripping a dome the open outlook of the downtown skyline from inside the stadium the only thing I hope is 1 the traffic major issue and the parking and restaurants inside and outside the stadium but it’s beautiful it’s like a big yacht on the outside with a football stadium on the inside and I like the entrance as well
These teams that give away an incredible natural advantage by building a dome are so dumb. I've always thought it such a missed opportunity when the Lions built Ford Field with a roof. Green Bay has it right!
It would be neat if they did something unique to Chicago/the Bears organization with the exterior design. Like how US Bank Stadium has that Viking longship aesthetic.
the bears still have to make friends of the park happy and that will be hard to do also the public does not want to pay for this the people are still paying for the last reno witch is 650 mill
The stadium is beautiful. Idc about the comparison to the Raiders stadium. It would bring the Bears into the future. It would also bring way more events like NCAA basketball and Football championships,concerts and other major events. Chicago needs this
Life long Bears fan here.. I dont live in Chicago but my question is safety. I know it sounds crazy but whats the land AROUND the stadium like? Big picture is this- whats the weather in Chicago like year round? Over time will the land shift or sink because its close to the water? Will there be MORE money coming out of tax payers pockets for repairs because opps! we didnt think about that sink hole we just opened up..
New York have their tax payers pay for a bloated stadium. Many New Yorkers wont be able to watch Bill games because their forced to watch the Jets or Giants that's played in New Jersey. The New York screw job.
@@Tank4Life for Bears games. What's that, 8 days a year out of 365? I'm sure there'll be many more concerts and other events than that over the course of a year, and I assume the park area around the columns will be open year round.
I think voters have grown tired of paying for venues for billionaires. Most of these stadiums are barely 20 years old and the original debt isn't paid off, before renovations and replacement is demanded. There is zero return on the investment made by tax payers.
There were never plans and they aren't allowed to add smaller buildings within the new stadium campus because of the friends of the parks group wanting green everywhere. No parking , then they need to knockdown that eye sore of old McCormack place.
Take a family of 4 to a game at SoFi in LA, and you need to get a 2nd on your home loan. It is unaffordable! Chicago is blue collar, and the Average Joe will not be able to afford to go to the games.
Nitpicking over the division and percentages is a distraction. They want at least one billion of public money and more realistically they want at least two billion of public money. Hopefully they will be met with laughter and a quick “how about no.”
That stadium is so professional and clean looking those are hands down the best super stadium if they actually do it! Love how you’re not looking at 50 different weird things in the stadium all meshes so good together! The only thing I dislike is the fact you have kiddy fields right outside it that part looks disgusting
Its very pretty and lord knows the Bears desperately need an indoor stadium, but I don't think either the City or the Bears themselves can afford it. The McCaskeys have gotten wealthy owning the Bears, but like many families that inherited their teams from the beginning of the League (the Bidwills, the Browns), they have no other sources of wealth to draw upon to invest in their teams. They're like a middle class family whose house was suddenly valued at 100x what they paid for it.
Even more pissed at how the Fields saga turned out. First guy in last guy out typa dude and wonder what coulda been if he didnt hav to go thru a whole regime change and had actually competent rosters and offensive coordinators. Now we get a potential headcase in Caleb Williams. I hope all the pre-draft stuff bout not wanting to come to Chicago and his USC teammates not liking him was all fake
Parking will be a disaster, and walking two or three blocks with this crime ridden city, uh no thanks.? This will be so awful walking out after a game. By the time you get home you'll need to shave again.
it would make new jobs they say!bruh 4.6 bill worth of jobs?come tf on lol,its crazy that tax payers money will go to spoil owners and players,dont get me wrong i love sports but this is just crazy.these guys make so much money every year.i think tax money should be investments to help all not just some.a bunch of BS if you ask me

There's got to be a way to get this project done without infuriating taxpayers, while benefit the Bears, Chicago, and all those involved.
You can build it on land the Bears own.
Can you imagine how much tickets beer and food will be at the new stadium.. I bet double what it is now .. 😢😢
I think the stadium is tremendous people tripping a dome the open outlook of the downtown skyline from inside the stadium the only thing I hope is 1 the traffic major issue and the parking and restaurants inside and outside the stadium but it’s beautiful it’s like a big yacht on the outside with a football stadium on the inside and I like the entrance as well
no parking - you have to boat in.
I like the name of this stadium: "STADIUM." Inside, you'll find the restrooms named "Let's Poop Here."
These teams that give away an incredible natural advantage by building a dome are so dumb. I've always thought it such a missed opportunity when the Lions built Ford Field with a roof. Green Bay has it right!
that ncaa final four rendering lol don't forget to bring your binoculars
The 2.3 billion that the Bears are contributing should be enough for the Arlington heights project
WOW!!! its Allegiant Stadium
They don't need a stadium district! You are downtown
If they want to make money they do.
Love the stadium design and surrounding area but the price tag is a killer
It would be neat if they did something unique to Chicago/the Bears organization with the exterior design. Like how US Bank Stadium has that Viking longship aesthetic.
While City 🏙️ of Chicago can’t FEED Grammar School 🏫 Children meals 🍱 🔥❓
the bears still have to make friends of the park happy and that will be hard to do also the public does not want to pay for this the people are still paying for the last reno witch is 650 mill
The stadium is beautiful. Idc about the comparison to the Raiders stadium. It would bring the Bears into the future. It would also bring way more events like NCAA basketball and Football championships,concerts and other major events. Chicago needs this
AH will make a deal they can’t refuse
hope so
@@alexlindsey6446 yes my business relies on it lol if the bears don’t come it’s gonna be the worst
Going inside for a cold weather team is the biggest mistake you can make.Before the Vikings went inside they were always contenders, now look at them
Life long Bears fan here.. I dont live in Chicago but my question is safety. I know it sounds crazy but whats the land AROUND the stadium like? Big picture is this- whats the weather in Chicago like year round? Over time will the land shift or sink because its close to the water? Will there be MORE money coming out of tax payers pockets for repairs because opps! we didnt think about that sink hole we just opened up..
New York have their tax payers pay for a bloated stadium. Many New Yorkers wont be able to watch Bill games because their forced to watch the Jets or Giants that's played in New Jersey. The New York screw job.
If the Bears dont own the stadium, why should they foot the bill?
Because they reap all the benefits of having a stadium. They get all the money on ticket sales, luxury boxes, concessions etc.
@@Tank4Life for Bears games. What's that, 8 days a year out of 365? I'm sure there'll be many more concerts and other events than that over the course of a year, and I assume the park area around the columns will be open year round.
@@Tank4Life No the city and park district get that money also
A “want” at the expense of the taxpayer’s, courtesy of your elected officials!
I thought you meant the other type of piss (not anger)
I think voters have grown tired of paying for venues for billionaires. Most of these stadiums are barely 20 years old and the original debt isn't paid off, before renovations and replacement is demanded. There is zero return on the investment made by tax payers.
By the end of it , this will be 6-8 billion easily. No WAY should this be funded!!
Total corruption and payouts. No way a stadium should cost that much.
It's not just the stadium, it's everything surrounding it also
There were never plans and they aren't allowed to add smaller buildings within the new stadium campus because of the friends of the parks group wanting green everywhere.
No parking , then they need to knockdown that eye sore of old McCormack place.
That stadium looks wack it should be outside period. We Chicago too many Domes Detroit Minnesota Indianapolis in the Midwest period
The interiors of these new stadiums are starting to look alike
The City owns the Stadium not the Bears, green space added and the roads around the Drive are improved
Honestly, the Bears should copy the CFL BC Lions stadium which called BC Place. I suggest commenters should pull up images of that stadium.

Take a family of 4 to a game at SoFi in LA, and you need to get a 2nd on your home loan. It is unaffordable! Chicago is blue collar, and the Average Joe will not be able to afford to go to the games.
Friends of the Park.
That is all.
Nitpicking over the division and percentages is a distraction. They want at least one billion of public money and more realistically they want at least two billion of public money. Hopefully they will be met with laughter and a quick “how about no.”
That stadium is so professional and clean looking those are hands down the best super stadium if they actually do it! Love how you’re not looking at 50 different weird things in the stadium all meshes so good together! The only thing I dislike is the fact you have kiddy fields right outside it that part looks disgusting
Its very pretty and lord knows the Bears desperately need an indoor stadium, but I don't think either the City or the Bears themselves can afford it. The McCaskeys have gotten wealthy owning the Bears, but like many families that inherited their teams from the beginning of the League (the Bidwills, the Browns), they have no other sources of wealth to draw upon to invest in their teams. They're like a middle class family whose house was suddenly valued at 100x what they paid for it.
Love the new Stadium GO CHICAGO bears🧡💙💯🏈🐻⬇️
I love the new design of the stadium 🐻 ⬇️ baby
Even more pissed at how the Fields saga turned out. First guy in last guy out typa dude and wonder what coulda been if he didnt hav to go thru a whole regime change and had actually competent rosters and offensive coordinators. Now we get a potential headcase in Caleb Williams. I hope all the pre-draft stuff bout not wanting to come to Chicago and his USC teammates not liking him was all fake
Parking will be a disaster, and walking two or three blocks with this crime ridden city, uh no thanks.? This will be so awful walking out after a game. By the time you get home you'll need to shave again.
it would make new jobs they say!bruh 4.6 bill worth of jobs?come tf on lol,its crazy that tax payers money will go to spoil owners and players,dont get me wrong i love sports but this is just crazy.these guys make so much money every year.i think tax money should be investments to help all not just some.a bunch of BS if you ask me
The dome stadium channel
Does it need a growling big bear head
Jordan loves new crib is lookin fire 🔥
Shouldn't non bears fans be the ones pissed?
