Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Remains Committed to Keeping Bears in Chicago

Share

The Chicago Bears are laying out their preliminary plans for possibly building a stadium in suburban Arlington Heights. The team said they envision a multi-purpose entertainment district anchored by a new, best-in-class enclosed stadium. They say the stadium would provide Chicagoland with a new home worthy of hosting global events such as the Super Bowl, College Football Playoffs, and Final Four. However, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says she remains dedicated to keeping the team on the lakefront.

The Bears are promising to not seek public funding for the stadium itself, but are looking for help with the rest of the development. Chicago can end its lease at Soldier Field as early as 2026. The plan will be discussed tomorrow at John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights.
