It’s an ugly stadium. Bears fans have put up with so much shit over the last few decades we deserve better than this. Look at the other 2 major cities in this country and they have huge billion dollar stadiums in LA and NY. Why not Chicago? Bears fans are certainly more passionate than rams and chargers fans and could easily fill up a new stadium consistently. I mean Jesus even the little inbred village of Green Bay has a huge outdoor stadium. Plus with it’s about time the bears actually owned their own stadium and can take care of it. Whose to say the grass won’t go back to being shit with the Fire playing there now?
It has modern amenities, good seating and sitelines. You think they should discard it today for criticism of its aesthetics which, btw, came 15+ years ago?
That simply makes no sense.
You don’t discard a stadium because someone thinks it looks odd.
Did the Louvre discard IM Pei’s glass triangle that caused a stir when constructed? No. It became accepted. I doubt most even think about Soldier Field’s architecture any more. They have had years to get used to it.
If your stadium seats too few or lacks revenue streams such as luxury boxes, then you consider a change. But not Soldier Field as it is today.
Original Soldier Field had horrible sitelines and it was tolrated forever. The new seating is a thousand times better.
