The main issue that they need to solve if they stay in that area is getting an El stop close by, as it is a hike for many.

That is a walk you do not want to do in Chicago when it is cold.

The 3 issues really are the lake is cold as frick so a dome is needed for more year round activities


At this rate, in 50 years, the whole league will be indoors

Plus the majority of the fan base is on the north and west side of the city and soldier field is on the southeast side.

In all my years of living in and around the city, I've never heard this one before. It's not like the Cardinals still play on the South Side.

Like someone else said, the fanbase reaches from Iowa to Indiana. The Bears radio network even has an affiliate in Fort Wayne.

Take the train. I would never drive to a game there.
