Chicago Bears Prioritize Lakefront for New Stadium Development

Despite hurdles in securing public funding, the Bears remain focused on a $5 billion lakefront stadium project, with Arlington Heights as a backup option.

Kevin Warren, Bears President, emphasizes the team's commitment to developing a new stadium at Chicago's Museum Campus.
The project is estimated to cost $5 billion, with the Bears seeking significant public funding for both the stadium and infrastructure.
While Arlington Heights remains a potential site, the design plans are intended to be adaptable to either location.
Warren is exploring private equity options but remains focused on securing public financing for the Chicago site.
The team aims to begin construction in 2025, maintaining regular discussions with political and business leaders.
