In a letter sent to season ticket holders hours before the Bears’ opener against the Vikings, president/CEO Kevin Warren reiterated the team’s plan to build a dome in Arlington Heights, writing with finality about the Bears leaving the city of Chicago.
“Moving outside of the city of Chicago is not a decision we reached easily,” he wrote. “This project does not represent us leaving, it represents us expanding.”
Warren wrote Monday that he hopes the Bears can finalize their plans for a fixed-roof dome this year. The Bears hope to bid for a Super Bowl, perhaps one played as soon as 2031.
