The site from the article:

As proposed, the new stadium would be in the area of Waldron Drive, just south of the Bears’ current home at Soldier Field. The project would include open plazas, paths and landscaping, with access to the lakefront, and could include saving the Soldier Field colonnade in honor of veterans.

About to be on then hook for this bs too.

The new plan is for a stadium that would get taxpayer funding and public ownership, but that the Bears would contribute $2 billion toward.

the bears never wanted to move off the lakefront anyways. but they did blow a ton of bread pump faking in purchasing that land anyways.

I’m glad they’re staying downtown. I think I head folks mention public transportation isn’t too good near the stadium. Are they going to address that with the new stadium?

They’ll figure something out with that.

Public transportation isn’t the problem, it’s in the south loop which has a bunch of options, it’s that the stadium itself is hard to access once you get there. Traffic after games is a mess.

I don't think it's logistical problem that they can solve to be honest.
