Chicago Bears President, Kevin Warren, shared exciting news during a recent interview with ESPN. He confirmed that the team is aiming to have a new stadium in downtown Chicago by 2025. The goal is to start construction by 2025 and have the stadium ready for the Bears to play in by 2028.
Warren emphasized that building a new stadium is a massive project that takes time and careful planning. Despite some challenges in reaching a deal with the Illinois legislature, Warren remains optimistic about the timeline for the new stadium. The proposed location for the new stadium is in downtown Chicago, where the lake meets the city’s iconic architecture.
While the Bears have also considered building a stadium in Arlington Heights, Warren reiterated that their primary focus is on the downtown campus. He highlighted the beauty of the location and expressed his belief that it is the ideal spot for the team’s new home. However, he acknowledged that Arlington Heights, where the Bears currently own a significant amount of land, remains an option for the stadium project.
Warren’s vision for the new stadium involves creating a state-of-the-art facility that will provide an enhanced experience for Bears fans. With an investment of over $2 billion in private funds, the team is committed to delivering a top-notch venue that will serve as the Bears’ home for years to come.
As the Bears continue to push forward with their plans for a new stadium, fans can look forward to an exciting future for the team. The prospect of a modern, cutting-edge venue in downtown Chicago signals a new chapter for the Bears and their dedicated supporters. Stay tuned for more updates on this ambitious project as the team works towards making their stadium dreams a reality.
