Heavy.com had an article describing a new stadium proposal, one I love the sound of, and I would think the Bears' ownership would jump all over it. A $10 billion proposal includes a 75,000-seat domed stadium engineered for the Bears but also allowing use for concerts, the Final Four, the Super Bowl, etc. Has the commercial and entertainment districts surrounding it. Includes a developer offer to buy back the property the Bears own in Arlington Heights. The best part is it would remain within Chicago City Limits!

I don't think the Bears want to play in another public owned stadium as this mentions. It is sad they cannot build their own on the lakefront, such a wonderful location for them.

Speaking as a non-resident, it was years I’d been to Chicago until the recent game here a few months ago. And man it’s nice with the stadium along the waterfront and all the surrounding amenities (museums, navy pier, downtown access etc). From first blush on this new proposal I like it for the relative similarity in locale. Although I like the Arlington Heights location only because it keeps them sorta in Chicago, this is ‘more better’. But again I’m speaking not as a resident and don’t know all the intricacies of politics etc involved.
