The Chicago Bears continue their site selection process for a new stadium with the release of sample renderings of amenities within a potential Hammond site. In the works for multiple years now, the multi-billion-dollar team is still refining plans for a partially publicly funded facility and district as the end of their lease at Soldier Field looms.
Yet another city is throwing its hat in the ring to become the new home of the Chicago Bears as stadium talks continue to drag on. The city of Portage in Northwest Indiana is trying to lure the team to a new stadium district dubbed “Halas Harbor,” located across the highway from the U.S. Steel plant near the lakefront. The site would be ready to break ground in June.
The city of Gary has released its official bid to become the new home of the Chicago Bears. Revealed earlier this week, the city, along with state legislators, have brought forth plans for the team to relocate just over the border as Illinois softens its stance on paying for the team’s infrastructure should they stay in the state.
New details have been revealed about the potential Chicago Bears stadium at 2200 Euclid Avenue in Arlington Heights. The plans mark the latest chapter in the team’s multi-year struggle to secure a new home while seeking tax funds from the city, county, and state. The effort is being led by the team in partnership with design firm Manica Architecture.
Further renderings and details have been revealed for the potential Bears stadium on the former Michael Reese Hospital site in Bronzeville. Located just south of McCormick Place, the plans to pivot the former Bronzeville Lakefront megadevelopment towards a stadium are being led purely by the Lakefront’s developers Farpoint Development and Golub.
