CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears have scheduled a Wednesday news conference to announce plans for “a state-of-the-art, publicly owned enclosed stadium” on the city’s Museum Campus near Lake Michigan.
The announcement Monday said the plans also call for additional green and open space with access to the lakefront.
The team said last month it was prepared to provide more than $2 billion in funding toward a publicly owned stadium in the city.
“The future stadium of the Chicago Bears will bring a transformative opportunity to our region — boosting the economy, creating jobs, facilitating mega events and generating millions in tax revenue,” team president Kevin Warren said March 11.
Warren’s statement signaled a shift in focus away from building a new home in the suburbs.
The new stadium would be very close to their current one, Soldier Field which has been the Bears’ home since 1971. The team’s lease there runs through 2033.
