The search for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears continues, with Chief Executive Officer Kevin Warren hinting at the possibility of a downtown location. During a recent press conference, Warren emphasized the importance of building an exceptional stadium for fans and praised the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Chicago’s lakefront.

Last year, the team acquired property at Arlington International Racecourse in hopes of constructing their new facility. However, complications surrounding property valuation and potential tax implications have put this development on hold.

While there were reports last month that suggested a site south of Soldier Field could be used for the new stadium, opposition from advocacy group Friends of Parks has caused hesitation. Despite this setback, it appears that options are still being explored and Warren’s statements indicate that a downtown location is still being considered as well.
