During a wide-ranging interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Planning and Development Commissioner Maurice Cox was asked what, if any, portion of Lightfoot’s $2.2 billion plan to dome and renovate Soldier Field would proceed if the Bears choose to make the move to Arlington Heights.

“That is independent of the question of the Bears. We can get 365 days a year activity out of a Soldier Field that has been renewed and capped.
