That won't change ever. 1 beer, i can buy in any Texas gas station for 3 bucks max .....$16 .00 each. Football all over is over priced.

Damn so going to bears games will be safer for you now they are leaving the shitty place called Chicago.

It's already overpriced. Maybe if the Bears leave Chicago, then the city can bring in a Xfl team. Maybe then I'll be able to afford going to Soldier Field.

@@Chris-Courage The Bear may leave but Chicago will always be an NFL market, there will always be an NFL team in Chicago

it's the ownership. Over the decades they have had numerous plans that have never come to be. some are far more recent. 1) The parking lot south of Soldier Field, which is owned by the Park District, and they're not keen on the stadium going there. 2) the old Micheal Reese site where a huge hospital used to stand. It was demolished to try to get the Olympics. Plenty of land with direct connections to Metra electric 3) Arlington heights where they already bought land and demolished an old race track. Access to Metra and tons of land to build a whole lot of stuff to go with the stadium. 4) The 78 Development at Roosevelt and Clark. Plenty of land and right across the river from the Amtrak yard and shops south of Union station, it's also right on the Metra line that goes to the LaSalle Street Station. They could easily put platforms on the edge of the Union Station yard, and the other line as well. 5) The land over the IC tracks on the south end of the McCormick Center also right on the lake. They had a dome designed to attach to the convention center a while back but it was ultimately abandoned. This is just north of the Micheal Reese site. 6) They also talked about doing something out near O'Hare, on industrial land, though that's a stretch due to height limits, this would be similar to SoFi in that they'd dig very deep so the stadium would only be a few stories tall above ground. O'Hare is dead set against it, for obvious reasons. 7) They had a plan to move to Gary at then site of an old abandoned steel plant, but that never really got anywhere and I think it was a threat to the city to get them the current Soldier Field upgrades 20 years go. 8) Soldier field itself with another major upgrade including a roof. Those are the one that I know about and have read about. There are many many options but the ownership just can't seem to get it's act together.

he'd be a bust

Chicago Bears the place that QBs go to fall into obscurity. This stadium mess is just another example of the incompetence of the ownership.

No place to park and there’s nothing really to do around the stadium without going into the loop. The bears want to build an entire complex like other teams have with commercial and retail space. The bears don’t own the stadium nor the land around it , the part district does and have blocked multiple attempts by the bears to build around the area . As a Chicagoan and a life long bears fan it will be sad to see them leave the city but I totally understand why .

Do you really like the cold weather? During the game hell naw bruh

@@dqr89there’s 3 world class museums around the stadium and beach. So not nothing lol But not anything that’s drinking/club related

@@ruiz1871 Those are nice but no one wants to go to a museum after a football game. Museums usually aren't open very late, so they're probably close after a game too.

@@ruiz1871 drunk bears fans aren’t going to a museum after the game lol and yes we do have a beach but the bears play during winter so… lol

I'm sure he work into this before then, give the man kudos for covering our team.

So what. Good investment for the bears. They need outside income like other owners have.

I can't say it enough. The bears have a identity problem. They have none.

I was looking forward to seeing the Arlington Heights Bears play in a new, preferably domed, stadium. Oh, well...

An NFL without the Bears in Chicago is a strange possibility

El Monumental is looking incredible after the Reno's.

Tom Brady never had a dome, 2 different teams nor does Patrick Mahomes.

@@a.barker7792 mahomes weather is peferct WTH u talking about. Brady and Allen and whoever the bears qb at the time is have the worst weather

@kinnowin3027 you have no idea what you're talking about. Please leave this subject to grown ups.

@@a.barker7792 I’m sorry, In Kansas City, the weather is nearly perfect. The most he will get is minor snow. In Chicago, it is sometimes so cold that it feels like catching a rock when the recievers try to catch the ball. In case you did not know, Chicago is in the northern latitude 42 area. It is the coldest city in the USA with over 1 million people. In Kansas City, the weathers lowest temperature in December was -4, in janeuru it was 8 degrees. This is not counting game days. I’m sorry you feel different about the weather in Kansas City and Chicago.

@@a.barker7792 yeah it’s very cold and snowy in Tampa🙄

The Toronto Argonauts are the oldest professional football team actually. They are older than the packers by 36 years!

Yeah, but it's more like an hour train ride from Arlington Heights to downtown. If a game starts at noon, you wouldn't make it downtown until it's close to 5, and you'd still have an hour trip to get back to Arlington Heights, then the commute home. So you'd be able to spend, what, an hour downtown tops? You couldn't eat a restaurant meal in an hour. Your Sunday would be completely shot. Most people have to get up for work Monday morning.

@@DionysusAlS i hear you bro, but if you decide to go to a game, the ones who do go will make it work bro. There’s plenty of teams that don’t play in their cities. San Francisco and Santa Clara is about an hour away. Arlington and Dallas is about 45-50 mins. Those fan bases pack their stadium when the team is good. Games are on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. If you’re going to an NFL game, your focus is to get to that game and if you’re a regular everyday person, you most likely have to work the next day anyway unless you requested a day off or you don’t work Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays. Normally, for example me, if i wanted to see a bears game in Chicago, I’d need to take time off from work because i don’t live in Illinois. So I’d have time to go get dinner, sight see, etc after a game. Locals can go to dinner, or see the attractions of the nearby biggest city at any time they’re off. Those things will be there all Year. You can only see a football game from August to January.

@@jamridd14, I agree that there is plenty of precedent for an NFL team not actually playing in the city they represent. I was hoping the Bears could avoid being another example, but they have to do what's right by them. It is a business. And tranport technology will continue to make long distance less of a factor. Japan has maglev trains that are just insane. I don't understand why this country can't have such things instead of wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on proxy war lost causes. What a complete joke.

So many more things go on at Soldier Field. Most people that work there can't wait for the Bears to leave. They bring in so little revenue.

Most of the fans attending Bears games come from the suburbs anyways. A very easy and cheap train ride to Arlington Heights will be no big deal for those living near downtown Chicago.

No, it is not Arlington Heightsit is only 30 miles 1/2 hour with good traffic from the City of Chicago. It is not 1 hr away. I live near there 5 min away.

@@jeanmillburg3343 still far

Tf you say

Actually the Cardinals are older than the NFL.

They're the 3rd oldest Cardinals 1898 Packers 1919 Bears 1920 Cardinals and Bears started with the NFL in 1920, and Packers joined a year later.

@@bryanflynn2855 The 1919 Decatur Staleys season was the first in the team's long existence, later becoming known as the Chicago Bears. It was also the only season in which the Staleys/Bears were an amateur team, not a member of the National Football League or managed by George Halas. The 1919 Staleys were a works team, made up purely of regular A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company employees, and finished with a 6-1 record to win the Central Illinois Championship. First NFL Teams Chicago Cardinals 1920 Chicago Bears 1920 Greenbay Packers 1921 Illinois had 4 Professional teams at one point Chicago Cardinals and Chicago Tigers, Decatur Staleys, and Rock Island Independents - one of the Teams (Jim Thorpe) played for Lot of people dont know that Geroge Halas's was a Player, Coach, Owner all at the same time More about Halas As a player: Hammond All-Stars (1919) Decatur Staleys/Chicago Staleys/Chicago Bears (1920-1929) Chicago Stayms (1920) As a coach: Decatur Staleys/Chicago Staleys/Chicago Bears (1920-1929, 1933-1942, 1946-1955, 1958-1967) As an executive: Decatur Staleys/Chicago Staleys/Chicago Bears (1921-1983) Owner Chicago Bruins (1925-1931, 1939-1942) Owner Newark Bears/Bombers (1939-1941) Owner Akron Bears (1946) Owner Baseball Player: New York Yankees 1919 Then his Military career

Well put

People act like they are moving across the country 😂 Neither the Rams or Chargers play in Los Angeles. Neither the Giants or Jets play in New York. Cowboys don't play in Dallas. 49ers don't play in San Francisco.....

@@dylanarthur5526 Baltimore Ravens play in Baltimore. Cincinnati Bengals play in Cincinnati. Cleveland Browns play in Cleveland. Pittsburgh Steelers play in Pittsburgh. Houston Texans play in Houston. Indianapolis Colts play in Indianapolis. Jacksonville Jaguars play in Jacksonville. Denver Broncos play in Denver. Kansas City Chiefs play in Kansas City. Philadelphia Eagles play in Philadelphia. Chicago Bears play in Chicago. Detroit Lions play in Detroit. Green Bay Packers play in Green Bay. Atlanta Falcons play in Atlanta. New Orleans Saints play in New Orleans. Tampa Bay Buccaneers play in Tampa. Seattle Seahawks play in Seattle. Then there's teams that don't belong to a city that don't really count. New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, and Arizona Cardinals.

The park district doesn't oversee the forest preserves. Chicago Park District oversees the parks in Chicago. The Forest Preserves of Cook County oversees the forest preserves.

Same here. The bears are poverty (this message was brought to you by the Packers/Lions gang) but Soldier field is magnificent

The McCaskeys are building the stadium with their own money. The surrounding infrastructure and entertainment/residential district is what they need the additional money for. The state of Illinois is far from broke, they just don't want to give the Bears money for their project, neither does Arlington Heights. The solution could come in the way of them just building the stadium and infrastructure, then piecemealing the rest over the years with the revenue from the stadium. Having the enlarged seating capacity and being able to have events (Final Four, Super Bowl, Concerts, etc.) all year round will help fund their realization. In the end, the final completion will be a cash cow so it's not a matter of them paying for it, they definitely will.

The casino and sports book fill finance the stadium... Continue the exodus of cook county

Its going to come from the same place where the money from all new stadiums come from, taxes and investors. The cost of maintaining and upgrading a 100 year old field is enough by itself to move out of Chicago!

It isn't. Talks of the Bears building a new stadium have been heating up since they closed the deal on Arlington International Racetrack. But the city mayor Lightfoot is desperately trying to keep the Bears in Chicago and at Soldier Field.

Uh no, that wouldn’t work. Bears being one of the oldest franchises in the NFL in the third largest market in America. They are going to be stuck in Illinois.

Bad deal for Chicago, not the bears. $6 million a year is a bargain. As for bad neighborhood, name me one stadium in a good one? The Bears belong in Downtown Chicago just as much as the Packers in Lambeu Field. Winning changes everything.

@@a.barker7792Gillette Stadium ………

It looks like a UFO landed on some Neo-Classical columns.

logistically Soldier Field is god awful, and i am a season tix holder. been to a number of NFL stadiums and Solider Field is just awful

they need to re-build soldier field or move out

@@ANCIENTASTRONAUT Met-Life is in the middle of nowhere in Jersey. AT&T takes forever to get out of and also in the middle of nowhere.

@@williambozek5458 Preach brother. Paradise Raiders, East Rutherford Giants also

If I was the Owner I would move to? Why in the hell would continue to pay rent to a terrible looking stadium! It looks like a UFO landed there and it's still under construction? When it rains that field looks like hurricane hit it! The grass is worst! They can't hold a Superbowl here, the parking is terrible! No stores to accommodate fans?

Don't forget dealing with corrupt scumbag politicians who are not even capable of managing a burger king yet manage one of the biggest cities in the world

There moving because they are owners and there tired of paying rent to something they can never own! It's time to run this Franchise right and have a state of art stadium!

you'll survive, Cupcake....maybe

The Chicago bears I finally being run like a Football organization a real good team president, as well as a good GM that is building this team through the Draft, and we finally have a franchise QB.

​@@christophercameron2141, nope. Fields will be out of the league in 3 years. He'll probably end up getting benched at some point this upcoming season.

@@DionysusAlS What the hell are you looking at=? He was one of the the most exciting players to watch despite no talent around him? Now if you may want to save that comment for Zach Wilson of the New York jets=! Justin Fields by far the most talented QB in his class, look at Jacksonville Jaguars last year in free agency they got that kid help! And so are the bears!? If you had done your research besides being a hater would could have a educational debate?

Cardinals are older.
