September 29, 20214 yr comment_186186 Awesome news. New stadium, better venue (I love the history of Soldier Field), better turf and footing for players, and more revenue to help the team compete. I hope they find a way to keep the ties to the past alive in the new stadium. This will bring a Superbowl to Chicago. Report
September 29, 20214 yr comment_186187 This is long overdue. So many positives other than the nostalgia of playing at Soldier Field. Report
September 29, 20214 yr comment_186189 Not one negative I can think of. I didn't care for the Soldier Field experience. Report
September 29, 20214 yr comment_186191 Soldier Field capacity: 61,500, smallest in the NFL. Largest holds 82,500, 20K less fans per game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_National_Football_League_stadiums It would be awesome to actually tailgate like other fans can at the stadium. For me, living in Alabama, I could get season tickets, fly in and out on Sunday much easier from O'Hare to the stadium. Report

And I would be happy to bring the tailgating stuff and have a blast meeting my Bearstalk brothers! Report

I will miss the city/lakefront atmosphere since it is actually closer/faster for me to get there than Arlington, but hope this means a better experience and possibly retractable roof if they are smart.

September 30, 20214 yr comment_186200 This has to happen. Soldier Field was outdated the moment it was finished. The Chicago Bears and their fans deserve a world-class facility. From a personal perspective, I could take the NW Metra line from Harvard right to the stadium. It would cut 30+ minutes on my commute. Make it so. Peace Report
