"But a couple of data points that I think you should be aware of are the Bears have a lease with Soldier Field until 2033 and the NFL doesn't let any teams break their leases,” Lightfoot said. “(T)here are things that they'd like to see differently at Soldier Field, and we want to do whatever we can to accommodate it. It's a great iconic site, but it's a challenging site.”

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

The Bears can move to the middle of Lake Michigan for all I care. I won’t ever watch the nfl ever again. I’ve spent the last 4 years without them and I am doing just fine.
After they move out, tear down that toilet bowl on top of Soldier Field
Thank you for saying Soldier Field correctly
What is this thing called the NFL?
Take a knee kiss my ass
Let’s call the team the blm Bears. Maybe that will make Lori happy.
Please move to Arlington Heights Bears!
It’s the perfect location. Highway access, lots of parking, plenty of room for an entertainment complex with bars, nightlife, restaurants, outdoor activities, and there is already a Metra line there. It’s a 100% better location than Solider field. Plenty of room for hotels, there’s a small golf course just up northwest highway in Palatine. It’s rare opportunities like this come up. Otherwise the developers will just build this into another outdoor stripmall/living/retail megaplex that looks like every other development in the country.
Good Move
Get them out of Chicago!
