The Chicago Bears are in the early stages of development on a new stadium project under president Kevin Warren.
While it originally looked like the Bears would move to the suburbs in Arlington Heights, the organization is focused on building on a new state-of-the-art, domed stadium on the Chicago lakefront just south of Soldier Field, where they’ve played since 1971. Portable Soccer Fence
“What intrigues me about downtown is I strongly believe Chicago is the finest city in all of the world,” Warren said at the team’s end-of-year press conference in January. “Very rarely do you get the opportunity to have such a beautiful downtown with a vibrant business community, with an absolutely beautiful lake and the energy that goes along. I always focus on, what’s a way that we could bring together the beauty of the lake, the beauty of downtown, the business community, all the art exhibits, to bring that together for an environment — because it’s always about the fans. How can we create an environment that they really enjoy?”
But, for the time being, the Bears will continue to play at Soldier Field, which has the lowest capacity of any stadium in the league but plenty of history. So how does Soldier Field rank among the current 30 NFL stadiums in the league?
