Bears release plans for stadium project in Chicago | Chicago Bears 

Bears are a Chicago team. We pay for it as a community. The billionaires already donated their time and effort. It’s your turn to pay.

@@-.TS.- Good bit.

I'm not sure but I think McCaskey didn't want to pay prop taxes in Arlington Heights. Although I'm not sure what the prop tax situati8on would be on the lake front, maybe much less or nothing?

Spoiler- They're not

@@-.TS.-and you’re ok with that or no?

They said they won’t be introducing any new taxes to the people of Chicago. Laid out the whole payment plan, it’s pretty impressive

@LucaTradez True they did say that but concentrate on what they didn't say. They didn't say that tax money wouldn't pay for it just that no new taxes will be introduced. That doesn't mean they can't pull from a pile of tax money Chicago already has. Money that should go towards replacing the lead pipes or schools, potholes, u name it

So did mine and I don't live in Chicago or even the USA. 😂

@LucaTradez hahaha that's cute you believe that. We are 40 billion in debt on city pensions. They will 100% tax us and probably state residents for this

LOL youre paying for at least half of it.​@@LucaTradez

fuck parking

😂

Yo that's hilarious😅😅😅😅😅

🤣

Phase 2 was saying double Decker Parking in the south lot.

McCormick

@@donnellydagreat5509 Double decker parking for 30,000 + cars? Right. That's got to be bigger than the stadium itself.

You walk with your legs

@jamesporter3761 no shit

*if

You’re a fool.

​@@salvasaur let's hope we get our new stadium built too....

@@collydub1987 Taxpayers covering costs for two stadiums sounds like a lot, but if something reasonable can be worked out...🤞🏾 Honestly, if I had to choose between the two, I'd go Bears. Soldier Field is trash. At least Comiskey is well maintained

@@salvasaur a little part of me is worried that if we don't get the 78 we might relocate to Nashville. I know that would be insane for Jerry to do, but I wouldn't put it past him. I agree that sox park is a decent stadium. Just needs more amenities around it.

One chicago had so much opportunity to boost this are

It's an interesting concept. The problem with the South Loop and Lakefront area. Is the public transportation for the whole entire Metro Area. There needs to be a feeder rail connector. Meaning you can run rail services to Union Pacific, Milwaukee Road, BNSF and Joliet. The Bus connectors do not work at the Museum Campus, Soldier Field. You need to be with a 1/4 to 3/8 of a mile from the front door. The Arlington Heights serves the entire Metro area in the Real Estate catchment area. This project is nothing but a Son of 10 shoeboxes and a Pullman Porter fantasy.

10-15 walk to Roosevelt is too far for you ? 😮

Phase 1🤦🏽🐻👇

They need to make a bridge connecting the stadium yo the train station

You would have thought they learned their lesson after the Soldier Field "renovation"

It looks like Allegiant stadium And like the new Titans stadium inside. Both of which are like the stadium this firm designed for the Chargers which didn't happen. $2.5 Billion for a cookie-cutter stadium. What a joke.

Tailgating isn't even allowed in parking garages. They literally have removed at least half of the existing parking with this plan. They are even saying they might turn the remaining part of the south lot into a parking garage. This whole plan is a joke. It doesn't do anything for the current two biggest problems. Parking and Traffic to the stadium. The plan makes small improvements directly at the stadium but does nothing for actually getting to the city from the suburbs.

I swear people search for something to complain about, You don’t even know all the details yet.

@@commonsense3921 I have seen the renderings, watched their press conference, and read the letter they sent to all season ticket holders. From everything you can tell our complaints are warranted. This plan is not a good one.

@@Scott-ou2iz Agree, What are the Bears actually doing to make this a better FAN FRIENDLY experience? Baseball/football fields are not fan friendly. Not a large entertainment village/restuarants, no tailgating that I can see, parking garage is in one single place so every car is going into the same place on the same side of the field? It will be a cluster &#^!%!. Still an overall pain in the butt place to get to to see a game.

What do u think the are going to put under all that park space!

You’re a fool.

Megs field and the ones still available and there will be a parking garage

I believe the renderings illustrate clearly that it's a fixed roof facility.

Or leave Northerly Island alone and keep the stadium where it is.

Ha!! Edit- 1 more !

Im glad im not the only one excited about strengthened museum synergy!!!! I think it translates to 10 percent off coupons for Tuesday museum trips! Awesome!!!

You’ll be paying for it fool.

Bears about to cook

Who cares. 🙄

lol it was obvious they were playing games with the Arlington site. It’s not the Tri-state area (NY/NJ)… where the Giants don’t play in the city but it all feels interconnected out there. Here.. the city vs burb ambiance is super obvious. And no, this isn’t an insult to Arlington Heights or Schaumburg, I quite enjoy those 2 burbs, but it’s just different… The lakefront w/ the skyline & museums nearby was the best choice…

That was the blackest comment ever

I saw a Harold's truck at Hallas Hall during last year's training camp. It was like $14 for 4 wings.

​@@blackitolism3000 pass at that price.

It's just a total scam at this point. Seeing fans cheer and applaud this is just gross and sad. There's a segment of the fanbase that has no idea the NFL is just taking advantage of the fans now. I know everyone loves watching the games every fall, they love the stars, the plays, the atmosphere...but when they're trying to charge $5 billion for a stadium that probably really costs $300 million...goodbye. We've got Netflix and Prime. This isn't worth it anymore.

Its a public owned facility/land. The Bears won't own it.

So the bears won't employ private security to monitor this complex? This is going to be worse than millennium park

Me since Ditka returned

Don’t hold your breath. The governor don’t want it

That's what i said I'm not even a bears fan and i said the bears are going to have a dome stadium now. I was like yeah the NFL is definitely going downhill the last 10 years or so. You got a lot of bears fans in the comments section happy about the idea. I can tell a lot of these people in the comments are new age bears fans. I'm a Eagles fan the Eagles better not think about building a dome stadium in Philadelphia.

Train

Underground

Except this makes the stadium even farther from CTA/Metra stops

​@@PheeblePhilosopherenjoy tailgating underground LOL

@@jakubpiechnik6294by 5 mins on foot ? 😂

Fuck Arlington we the Chicago Bears

@@Devin-lw7hv Not like Arlington Heights isn’t Chicagoland. Probably easier to get to for most fans with enough income to buy Bears tickets than the Near South Side.

​@@MisterCautiontheres only like 10 counties in Illinois that arent losing population and most of them are NW of Chicago. So Arlington Heights works

@@DaleGribble1 I know it works. AH is even easier to get to from wealthier burbs like Naperville than the Near South Side. And it’s probably easier to get to from most of the North Side if going by car or Uber.

There is one way in and one way out. This is a huge mistake.

You got to honor him with the stadium

Unless his family has more money than a bank, his name won't be near the stadium name. He'll be lucky if he gets a plaque

You sure will be.🙄

parking is what ruins the stadium

@@malon9776 Okay.. but if you have no parking, how are you supposed to fill that stadium?

​@@ebonovic Everyone is gonna have to take the red line to Roosevelt lmao what a shit show

Parking will be on the outlet they build and looking from the lake, to the left of the stadium

Of course they didn't

So you assume that if people complain about it they didn't watch the video? Bro look at this objectively and tell the world where will there be tailgating allowed? On a parking garage? Or what use do fans have with baseball/football fields on game day? Where is the large entertainment village/restuarants? All parking is at one single location on one side of the stadium?

@@chazzhammer425 not referring to that I’m talking about the funds

Man!! Slow as hell! 😂😂😂😂

I turned it off when they started praying......for a football stadium. Disgusting.

Shouldn't you be picking cheerleaders from the pasture?

They said they would play at soldier field until the new stadium is open. Alluding to that the take down of soldier field wouldn’t happen until the new stadium is playable.

It's a culture problem. Mr 10 shoeboxes, friends of Cottage Grove and Mo and Onk don't like suburbs. The City is Bankrupt.

What a jerk!!!!

A lot of bears fans love the idea of staying in the city. At the beginning when it was first said they might go to Arlington people were throwing a fit

@@mystimallow yeah losers who are happy with living like a 3rd rate team in the NFL.

Nope, Raiders a better and futuristic looking

That's because the same firm designed it

It’s for the Bears. Not crappy wrestling.

No such thing as Bear weather. Look at Bears record for December, it's a atrocious.

He sure does seem to be doing his best to make sure the city gets the Bears. I hope the Bears ownership sees through Warrens obvious bias towards the city, and says no freaking way are we going to build an average stadium that we WON'T own, and deal with Chicago politics forever. Instead of going to AH where the rest of the sane world would go to maximize profits and more importantly FAN EXPERIENCE.

Sell it? Build a practice complex? Doesn’t matter all that much. McCaskeys aren’t gonna lose money on the big ass plot of real estate they bought

The mccaskeys are still intendending to build the casino I belive 2:47

Right, they should just add on all of the stuff they're envisioning here to what's already there. Build around the current Soldier Field. Modify what's already on the stadium and put a retractable roof on it how about that?

Google exists.

@@ReadIcculus93 You sure their comment wasn't tongue-in-cheek and not an actual question?

Hopefully by the highway. I’m hoping this is a stunt

Would be a shitty experience watching the Bulls play in that stadium.

Basketball games usually don't work well in football stadiums because of the size of the court compared to the size of a football field.

​@@qaxcgyujmYet sadly the Final Four is forced to be played in these stadiums now almost every year.

​@@reverend_wintondupreeya when the final four is in football stadiums they wanna focus more on seating capacity than actual viewing experience.

@@qaxcgyujm No kidding

It's a city, if you want to park your car move the stadium to the suburbs

Chicago has been diverse for 60-70 years at least.

@@chazzhammer425 maybe. but once upon ah time it was mostly just white immigrant Europeans
