With plans for a new lakefront stadium stalling, multiple reports are suggesting that the Chicago Bears is now considering the former Michael Reese Hospital site in Bronzeville for a new stadium location.
In April, the Bears announced a $4.7 billion plan for a new domed lakefront stadium complex, including added green space and other amenities on the Museum Campus and their current home at Soldier Field, shifting the team’s focus from a proposal to build a new stadium in Arlington Heights that had been the focus of attention for nearly three years.
Before the plan was announced, but after the Bears said they would spend $2 billion to stay in the city, the group Friends of the Parks suggested that the Bears should build at the Michael Reese site.
