NFL's Chicago Bears Eye Move Across State Lines: A Potential Game-Changer
The Chicago Bears' potential exit from Soldier Field could lead to an interstate move, reviving a thriving area and keeping the team within reach of most fans.
The Chicago Bears have been tenants for decades, first at Wrigley Field and then at Soldier Field, the team's home since 1971. But with the city park district's lease terms being unfavorable and the stadium no longer meeting the team's needs, the Bears are now considering an interstate move that could prove to be a game-changer.
While Soldier Field is prime football real estate, with its neoclassical architecture and sweeping views of Chicago's sumptuous skyline, the team has outgrown the league's oldest and smallest stadium, which represents the third-largest market in the NFL. The Bears' search for a more suitable home has led them to explore options across state lines, specifically in Hammond, Indiana.
