Hope the millionaires and billionaires benefitting from the stadium are the ones handling the costs.
Bears are a Chicago team. We pay for it as a community. The billionaires already donated their time and effort. It’s your turn to pay.
@@-.TS.- Good bit.
I'm not sure but I think McCaskey didn't want to pay prop taxes in Arlington Heights. Although I'm not sure what the prop tax situati8on would be on the lake front, maybe much less or nothing?
Spoiler- They're not
@@-.TS.-and you’re ok with that or no?
Stadium design reminds me of the allegiant one in vegas.
I thought that too
It’s the same architecture firm
Spectacular indeed. Build this beauty, and everyone will come. Simply Magnificent. ❤
lmfao not everyone
The stadium design from the outside. Looks like a giant George Foreman grill 😂 🤣
You would have thought they learned their lesson after the Soldier Field "renovation"
It looks like Allegiant stadium And like the new Titans stadium inside. Both of which are like the stadium this firm designed for the Chargers which didn't happen. $2.5 Billion for a cookie-cutter stadium. What a joke.
My taxes went up just from watching this video.
They said they won’t be introducing any new taxes to the people of Chicago. Laid out the whole payment plan, it’s pretty impressive
@LucaTradez True they did say that but concentrate on what they didn't say. They didn't say that tax money wouldn't pay for it just that no new taxes will be introduced. That doesn't mean they can't pull from a pile of tax money Chicago already has. Money that should go towards replacing the lead pipes or schools, potholes, u name it
So did mine and I don't live in Chicago or even the USA. 😂
@LucaTradez hahaha that's cute you believe that. We are 40 billion in debt on city pensions. They will 100% tax us and probably state residents for this
LOL youre paying for at least half of it.@@LucaTradez
Talented roster, number one pick with finally a talented QB heading your way, a new stadium too (probably).....
Bears fans have a real reason to be excited.
lmfao you must be a casual
Holy smokes when this is done I’ll be traveling from cali to watch my bears!
*if
You’re a fool.
@@salvasaur let's hope we get our new stadium built too....
@@collydub1987 Taxpayers covering costs for two stadiums sounds like a lot, but if something reasonable can be worked out...🤞🏾
Honestly, if I had to choose between the two, I'd go Bears. Soldier Field is trash. At least Comiskey is well maintained
@@salvasaur a little part of me is worried that if we don't get the 78 we might relocate to Nashville. I know that would be insane for Jerry to do, but I wouldn't put it past him. I agree that sox park is a decent stadium. Just needs more amenities around it.
Need to build up public transit to the area to bring in long-term revenue for the city.
There's an electrified Metra stop right next to the existing stadium, and it's pitifully underutilized.
One chicago had so much opportunity to boost this are
It's an interesting concept. The problem with the South Loop and Lakefront area. Is the public transportation for the whole entire Metro Area. There needs to be a feeder rail connector. Meaning you can run rail services to Union Pacific, Milwaukee Road, BNSF and Joliet. The Bus connectors do not work at the Museum Campus, Soldier Field. You need to be with a 1/4 to 3/8 of a mile from the front door. The Arlington Heights serves the entire Metro area in the Real Estate catchment area. This project is nothing but a Son of 10 shoeboxes and a Pullman Porter fantasy.
10-15 walk to Roosevelt is too far for you ? 😮
Phase 1🤦🏽🐻👇
They need to make a bridge connecting the stadium yo the train station
The Chicago Mayor needs to fix the CTA first. Without good public transportation this is nothing but waste of funds.
Now can we see the $2.5B version 100% paid for by the Bears
Selfish
I'm so excited I can't wait GO BEARS 🧡💙💯🐻⬇️🧡💙 A NEW BEGINNING FOR MY SWEET HOME CHICAGO AND THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO
As a fan of the Bears and the Field museum, I cannot wait for this new stadium. That entire museum campus is going to look amazing, and the Field museum is going to get a little more space for people to bask in its beauty, while also enjoying a nice park. The current set up there now, the stadium makes walking around dismal. That new park will encourage year round visitors to Northerly Island and the museum campus. This will improve the city in so many ways. I am in shock with how amazing this turned out.
Or leave Northerly Island alone and keep the stadium where it is.
Nice presentation. Chicago is a top 5 sports market and deserves a state of the art stadium. Also, the images, with Blacks Asians and spanish, Chicago is becoming more diverse like new york, and I love it.
Chicago has been diverse for 60-70 years at least.
@@chazzhammer425 maybe. but once upon ah time it was mostly just white immigrant Europeans
This looks awesome love it
You’re a fool.
I like my football outside
Let's at least get to the playoffs or better yet, superbowl before we build a new stadium
Edit ) also can we please get new owners or let the public own stacks in the Bears. There is so much pride of the team among the fans.
the big windows are a cool concept if its gonna be enclosed
I believe the renderings illustrate clearly that it's a fixed roof facility.
This looks good but I prefer the Soldier Field renovation
Go Bears!
looks cool. i'll believe it when i see it.
Megs field and the ones still available and there will be a parking garage
Raiders need to sue the Titans and Bears for copyright Allegiant Stadium
I legit said the exact same thing when I first saw this video. Cookie cutter stadium
As someone who doesn't live in Chicago anymore, looks great!
Can't wait to see it!
That's what will bring Chicago together, a new stadium.
Ha!!
Edit- 1 more !
Roomba Stadium!!!🎉
Unless I'm missing something, it looks like there is literally no parking which is the biggest complaint of the current stadium. Nobody wants to tailgate in a parking garage.
Tailgating isn't even allowed in parking garages. They literally have removed at least half of the existing parking with this plan. They are even saying they might turn the remaining part of the south lot into a parking garage. This whole plan is a joke. It doesn't do anything for the current two biggest problems. Parking and Traffic to the stadium. The plan makes small improvements directly at the stadium but does nothing for actually getting to the city from the suburbs.
I swear people search for something to complain about, You don’t even know all the details yet.
@@commonsense3921 I have seen the renderings, watched their press conference, and read the letter they sent to all season ticket holders. From everything you can tell our complaints are warranted. This plan is not a good one.
@@Scott-ou2iz Agree, What are the Bears actually doing to make this a better FAN FRIENDLY experience? Baseball/football fields are not fan friendly. Not a large entertainment village/restuarants, no tailgating that I can see, parking garage is in one single place so every car is going into the same place on the same side of the field? It will be a cluster ^!%!. Still an overall pain in the butt place to get to to see a game.
What do u think the are going to put under all that park space!
You gotta have a retractable roof so we can play games outside when the Superbowl happens close the roof
It looks great but what about the parking thats very important whens it comes down to it Arlington Heights is the best plan to build it has way more land and space and that just the reality of it🐻
Congratulations to CHICAGO BEARS drafted '24 ROOKIE CLASS, CALEB WILLIAMS! Smart move!
The outside looks better than the inside
I’m excited
Put a Dome on Soldier Field already. In July 2022 that project was estimated to be 2.2 billion. Enough said.
WOW!! Bear Down and FGB!!
Guys it’s got STRENGTHENED SYNERGIES. We have to do it.
Im glad im not the only one excited about strengthened museum synergy!!!!
I think it translates to 10 percent off coupons for Tuesday museum trips!
Awesome!!!
Fixed roof? Lame. Going to miss those snowy rainy games at Soldier Field.
That's what i said I'm not even a bears fan and i said the bears are going to have a dome stadium now.
I was like yeah the NFL is definitely going downhill the last 10 years or so.
You got a lot of bears fans in the comments section happy about the idea. I can tell a lot of these people in the comments are new age bears fans.
I'm a Eagles fan the Eagles better not think about building a dome stadium in Philadelphia.
Looks insane! I can’t wait
You’ll be paying for it fool.
I am just dreading the name. I can’t wait for Hulu+ stadium
So much for the idea of not building another alien spaceship next to the lake.
Soldier field is so unique and has so much history. And like labeau, its a huge home field advantage for winter games. This new stadium sucks
You have right! Simple ugly expensive stadium,and even give away Chicago weather advantage!
So where do we park ?
Phase 2 was saying double Decker Parking in the south lot.
McCormick
@@donnellydagreat5509 Double decker parking for 30,000 + cars? Right. That's got to be bigger than the stadium itself.
You walk with your legs
@jamesporter3761 no shit
It is time Chicago get some positive things going on and not just new stadium on the lakefront but far more.
Make it happen, Kevin Warren. Daniel Burnham would have his lakefront vision fulfilled! Bear Down!
The bears ain't going anywhere but Chitown
Bears about to cook
Who cares. 🙄
lol it was obvious they were playing games with the Arlington site. It’s not the Tri-state area (NY/NJ)… where the Giants don’t play in the city but it all feels interconnected out there.
Here.. the city vs burb ambiance is super obvious. And no, this isn’t an insult to Arlington Heights or Schaumburg, I quite enjoy those 2 burbs, but it’s just different…
The lakefront w/ the skyline & museums nearby was the best choice…
I don’t live in Illinois anymore. But as soon as that stadium is built, I’m coming to a game. Can’t wait for this upcoming season. Haven’t been this excited in a while.
Me since Ditka returned
Don’t hold your breath. The governor don’t want it
I love daydreaming of what the future might hold for Chicago.
The only thing I gained from this video is a beautiful venu with absolutely zero parking. Hope there's a part 2 (same music) showcasing all the new parking that will be available lol
Soldier Field had me walking a half marathon from my parked car to the stadium haha
Nailed it! Looks great.
As a tax payer, I don't want one red cent going to this. Those owners are filthy rich and have more than enough cash and credit owning a charter NFL franchise. They don't need my money. I will end up paying for this fucking stadium and can't even afford tickets to the game. Biggest grift in history. Vote NO!! Let 'em leave. Fuck 'em. And I love watching football and my Bears but this nonsense has got to end.
This looks like something I could build in madden. 😂
This is a beautiful step forward!
All I gotta ask is where is the parking?
Train
Underground
Except this makes the stadium even farther from CTA/Metra stops
@@PheeblePhilosopherenjoy tailgating underground LOL
@@jakubpiechnik6294by 5 mins on foot ? 😂
Double that price tag. You know politicians and bureaucrats gotta have their kickbacks, ESPECIALLY in Chicago.
This looks nice, but I would have preferred Arlington Heights. This doesn't fix the traffic and parking problem. I am happy we'll finally have a dome though. I also hope that if this stadium holds more fans ticket prices go down a bit. Right now the only games that are affordable for everyone are the games in December when it's freezing outside.
It Looks Beautiful ❤️
I'm a fan!!! ❤
Absolute fire! It never made any sense for the Bears to move to Arlington Heights. The train access would be an absolute nightmare for anyone that isn’t on the Union Pacific Northwest line. Besides, who the hell wants to go to Arlington Heights?
Who wants to go to Chicago? The Bears decide to stay in the city it will be the biggest economic failure in the history of the NFL.
48.9 million domestic and overseas visitors visited Chicago in 2022, an amount 60% higher than in 2021. Now tell me how many want to come to Arlington Heights?
Pay for it yourself people should never have access to the public spaces shown here. You can stay at least a mile away from the stadium
The same mfs living this are going to be the same mfs complaining about everythings expensive
Yep...thats the one.....this gona happen...Bear down...Chitown
The long-time Chi Tribune columnist Eric Zorn just weighed in with a nice piece -- trashing this proposed plan! Here's hoping it flops. Let them stay in Arlington Heights.
>>If the Bears want a mulligan on their poor stadium decision, fine. But let them pay for it
In recreational golf, many friendly foursomes allow each player one or two do-overs per round following particularly regrettable tee shots. This second chance is known as a “mulligan,” named for a person with the last name Mulligan, though word nerds aren’t sure which of several candidates it was.
The Bears want one. Some 22 years ago, they metaphorically sliced one deep into the woods with an ugly rebuild of Soldier Field that has one of the smallest seating capacities in the NFL and lacks a covered roof that would have made it a much more useful venue for the Super Bowl, the college basketball championships, concerts, monster truck rallies and conventions.
But at the time, the team preferred an outdoor stadium - as though there’s anything to the idea that “Bear weather” would give them an advantage or that fans enjoyed exposure to the biting elements along the lakefront. And rather quickly and predictably that renovation, paid for with more than $400 million in tax money, proved to be disappointing and inadequate.
As one who saw that coming and wrote several columns at the time griping about what was being called New Soldier Field, I’m hostile to the Bears’ current notion that public money should now help them build the stadium they should have been smart enough to build in the first place.
Can we get a Harold's, McDonald's in the stadium😂
That was the blackest comment ever
I saw a Harold's truck at Hallas Hall during last year's training camp. It was like $14 for 4 wings.
@@blackitolism3000 pass at that price.
The Bears not playing outdoor games in January is too weird. This would be the death of Bear Weather
No such thing as Bear weather. Look at Bears record for December, it's a atrocious.
I love it, awesome project.
I still don't understand how it's legal to have tax payers build a stadium for your business.
Anyone want to combine forces for a new football team, have random people from city X pay for it, and then sell the team for 2 billion?
It's just a total scam at this point. Seeing fans cheer and applaud this is just gross and sad. There's a segment of the fanbase that has no idea the NFL is just taking advantage of the fans now. I know everyone loves watching the games every fall, they love the stars, the plays, the atmosphere...but when they're trying to charge $5 billion for a stadium that probably really costs $300 million...goodbye. We've got Netflix and Prime. This isn't worth it anymore.
Its a public owned facility/land. The Bears won't own it.
So the bears won't employ private security to monitor this complex? This is going to be worse than millennium park
Looks exactly like the Raiders stadium 🧐
Nope, Raiders a better and futuristic looking
That's because the same firm designed it
The wind is going to whistle through that hole for sure.
If there is a Super Bowl there, I’m spending my moneys worth
You sure will be.🙄
DOPE AF
Avg household income in the city is like $55k, avg. household income in the suburbs is like $125K give or take. Bears go forward with this plan the Bears will be forever relegated to an average NFL team/stadium/fan experience at best. Chicago Bears as usually blow the opportunity to chase greatness by foregoing the chance to build a much better stadium/entertainment villiage in AH. But hey the Bears fans from the suburbs with a ton of money in their pockets I'm sure will spend so much time using those baseball fields. LOL
It's a culture problem. Mr 10 shoeboxes, friends of Cottage Grove and Mo and Onk don't like suburbs. The City is Bankrupt.
What a jerk!!!!
A lot of bears fans love the idea of staying in the city. At the beginning when it was first said they might go to Arlington people were throwing a fit
@@mystimallow yeah losers who are happy with living like a 3rd rate team in the NFL.
🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully, we can finally post a wrestlemania in style
It’s for the Bears. Not crappy wrestling.
Jordan loves new crib looking fire 🔥
Shouldn't you be picking cheerleaders from the pasture?
You're spending $2 billion to have a carbon copy of Allegiant Stadium, which you won't even own. You show renderings of public spaces, which never are utilized like that in reality. It will still be the most inaccessible place for a major stadium. The CTA train system doesn't even reach the stadium directly. Your taking away the only usable parking deck and didn't substantially address parking in your presentation today. Platitudes for the sake of getting money from the city, state, and federal governments. Billionaires shouldn't ask for public funds.
This is awesome!!!
With the first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Donald De La Haye, placekicker, Florida. 🐻🏈🐻🏈🐻
Looks like the Alligiant stadium .
Nice New Stadium Chicago Bears
I love it
Walter Payton stadium
Payton Stadium
Or
Sweetness Field
You got to honor him with the stadium
Unless his family has more money than a bank, his name won't be near the stadium name. He'll be lucky if he gets a plaque
But I was told that the bears wanted to evacuate from the city, why are they moving 10 feet?
Still going to suck getting in and out of with absolutely no parking as well. Go to Arlington and the land you purchased
Fuck Arlington we the Chicago Bears
@MisterCautiontheres only like 10 counties in Illinois that arent losing population and most of them are NW of Chicago.
So Arlington Heights works
beautiful.......now, where exactly are all of the fans going to park!!?
No thank you. Enjoy Arlington Heights!
Pay for it yourself, Virginia.
This aint for football this is for futbol
It’s dope but the El is too far, need to get the public transpiration figured out
There is one way in and one way out. This is a huge mistake.
Can’t cap shit look epic
LOVE IT!!!!
They belong here period
Keep the bears where they are please 🙏🏽🐻⬇️❗️❗️❗️
Even as a Packers fan, why the hell are you not using that $2 billion on Arlington Park? You bought the land, use that money to build your stadium with room for upgrades. Theres already a train station RIGHT THERE! Ik the city wants the Bears to stay in the city, but my fuckin god, just make everyone's life easier and build your stadium in Arlington Heights
Proud of the bears management team for trying to get this package done...hope it happens cause it couldn't go to a better city
Bear down baby!
It looks amazing, but where is the parking? That is a fundamental issue with Soldier Field. Also, I'm sure folks will be ticked if there is nowhere to tailgate.
Theyre going to get rid of Solider Field the offseson before the new stadium is ready?
They said they would play at soldier field until the new stadium is open. Alluding to that the take down of soldier field wouldn’t happen until the new stadium is playable.
the bears are just trying to feel out who is going to give them the best deal. the city of Chicago and the state, or the old racetrack.
Ready in 2038... probably
This plan actually makes current stadium issues even worse. This will make the stadium an even farther walk from trains/food/bars and makes it even harder to drive there and park.
By 5 mins ? 😮
Bro y'all really don't listen! And I see now why our stadium is a thousand years old! Cause most of us hate change. ,🤦🏽🐻👇
@@jeffrey7737the stadium is in a terrible location. One way in. One way out
North..... South.....West 😒😒😒😒😒😒
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💥💥 Im not a bears fan but Wow so the mighty cold weather bears are going to be a dome team now lmao.
The NFL has definitely gone down hill the last 10 years or so.
I swear my Eagles better not even think about building a dome stadium.
Let's make it happen
Greatest city in america
That's not saying that much since most cities in America are trash.
