4/25/24 | Bears president: 'I'm not going to think negatively' about stadium obstacles. In laying out their dream for a new $3.5 billion domed lakefront stadium, Bears President Kevin Warren and Mayor Brandon Johnson repeatedly invoked the name of Daniel Burnham as they described a lush and re-imagined Museum Campus with 14 acres of new parkland they claimed would add a worthy new chapter to the Burnham Plan. It could leave Chicago with two lakefront stadiums — and no additional park space. On Thursday, Bears President Kevin Warren was asked about that worst-case scenario during a somewhat contentious meeting with the Sun-Times editorial board.

12/14/23 | Rep. Kam Buckner: Soldier Field shuffle offers an opportunity to Chicago and the Bears. When news broke of the Bears considering a new stadium on the land currently housing the south parking deck, it gave many Chicagoans hope that the team would remain nestled on the lakefront and that we would maintain our distinction of being the largest city in the country where every professional sports team plays its home games within the city limits.
