Chicago Bears Downtown Stadium Push Just Took Another Hit

Kevin Warren was hired as the Chicago Bears’ team president to oversee their efforts to build a new stadium. Thus far, his preferred plan has not gained any traction. While Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is behind the idea of building a new lakefront stadium south of Soldier Field, the reception from the Illinois state government has been far colder. Governor J.B. Pritzker and his regime made it clear from the outset that the Bears should expect no public funding for what they consider a billionaire vanity project.
