Soldier Field on the lakefront on March 11, 2024, where the Bears have proposed building a new domed stadium.
Team officials will make the announcement at Soldier Field, which would be demolished under the proposal. The crucial question is how any taxpayer cost would be funded, and whether city and state lawmakers would approve that. Taxpayers were still on the hook for $631 million for Soldier Field debt as of last year.
The new site would be on what are now parking lots just south of Soldier Field. The collonades from the old structure would be saved. The proposal is believed to potentially include a hotel and improved access to and from DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
