Bears New Stadium Plans Revealed
Phase 1 of the Project Includes Infrastructure and Transportation
The first phase of the Chicago Bears' new stadium project will focus on the construction of transportation roadways and other infrastructure necessary to support the stadium. The project is being led by Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been a vocal advocate for the new stadium.
Stadium Capacity and Design
The capacity of the new stadium will vary depending on the type of event being held. For Chicago Bears games, the stadium will seat approximately 65,000 fans, with standing room for up to 70,000. The stadium will also have a capacity of 63,500 for Major League Soccer games and other events.
The stadium will be a state-of-the-art facility with a domed roof and a variety of amenities for fans. The project is expected to cost approximately $1.972 billion and will be funded in part by the Chicago Bears and the city of Chicago.
Timeline and Construction
The construction of the new stadium is expected to begin in the coming months and is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2026 NFL season. The Bears have previously committed to contributing $2 billion to the construction of the stadium, and the remaining funds will be provided by the city of Chicago.
