Bears CEO Kevin Warren is trying to garner support from Chicago's business community for a new stadium, facing challenges in securing taxpayer funds. Warren emphasized the importance of the new stadium for the city's future during a recent speech at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. With concerns raised about Chicago's declining global ranking and lack of construction projects, Warren stressed the necessity of the stadium. However, obtaining public funding for the project has met resistance from politicians, echoing a common trend of cities being reluctant to finance sports venues, especially NFL stadiums. Despite challenges, relocating the Bears outside of Chicago seems unlikely, leaving the options of self-funding the stadium or abandoning the project.
