Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

[CyCrazy]

I want to say "Finally!", but they still have a chance to screw up the stadium

well they did do that with the remodel.

Super Bowl(s), Final Four(s) and Wrestlemania(s) headed to Chicago by 2032 at the absolute latest.

And maybe B1G championship, NFL combine, etc.

Don't forget the most important event of them all --

Taylor Swift concerts.

And the Stones 23rd Farewell Tour....

 

[awd4cy]

This will be good for the bears. Plus with the regular season running further into January, hope games won’t be brutal to attend.

It is kind of funny that the tour we dubbed "The Steel Wheelchairs" tour is already more than 30 years ago.

Any organization that can trade up to draft Trubisky and approve that POS on the lake is not to be trusted

They should be thinking SoFi or ATT.

It's kind of fun to go back and look at some of the pictures from when they played the Dome. Mick and Keith look old then and then you realize that was 42 years ago.

The McCaskey's own the Bears. Its not a question of if they will f it up but how badly.

This purchase presents a whole slew of new and exciting ways for the Bears disappoint me. It’s basically all I still have as a fan. I know it’s going to happen, I just don’t know how.

As far as I know, the franchise is all the money the owners have. Unlike many other franchises, who have wealthy owners from other businesses, the McCaskeys don’t have this. I would laugh so hard if they screwed up this development they want to build, because I could see them taking a bite too big for them to chew.

When all is said and done and all the dust settles it's likely Indianapolis will still have a better stadium.

That stadium wins the KnappShack stamp of approval for ease of taking a piss, buying a beer, and getting back to the seat in a reasonable amount of time.

The basketball arena there gets the same stamp of approval.

Indianapolis knows how to get a fan what they want.

 

[jcisuclones]

Kevin Warren was the leader for Minnesota's new stadium. The Bears hired him to build their own US Bank Stadium, not re-lease the worst stadium in the NFL..

*second worst. FedEx Field would like to have a word..

I freaking love the Vikings stadium so his attachment to that should be a good sign.

Apparently the NFL mucky-de-mucks have decided they don't like the combine at all and want it done away with.

The basketball arena is the best in the country. Full stop.

Amenities and design are incredible and a building built for basketball that you can play hockey in rather than the other way around is simply awesome

Think the Bears opt for a retractable dome? I do hope the Bears somehow figure out a natural surface but that would be impossible I guess if they want to host other events in that space.

Vegas and Arizona both have fields that slide out. So it's possible. Just not sure it makes sense in this ******* arctic Chicago climate.

I feel this should be called Lori Lightfoot Field. In all seriousness nfl cities should have stadiums near the city, makes it more fun
