Why do the Bears want to move out of Soldier Field?

I don't see anything wrong with it. Every time I see it on TV I think how great it looks and how it looks up to date.

They don’t own it and want their own
Smallest stadium in the league
Poor amenities
It looks ok on TV / aesthetically but it’s way closer to Washington’s stadium than anything modern

They rent it and they want to build something like the Braves have with the Battery.
Also apparently it's the smallest stadium in the NFL for capacity? That's pretty wild.

Other owners pressuring them to build a new stadium which increases the worth of the team which also gives other teams a bump
Meanwhile tax payers help fund it

If you want to be a serious NFL franchise you have to be able to shakedown the local authorities

It’s old and small. Worst restrooms in the NFL. Plus the Bears historically played at Wrigley Field, so this isn’t a Lambeau Field situation with history.

They want someone else to pay for it and for them to own it. Bears will be able to make money off of concerts and other events off of this new stadium they don’t pay for
I was told the current bears owners don’t really have any other business interest. Bears is their wealth

It’s an absolute dump. Last time I went, I needed to piss at halftime and didn’t get back to my seat until late third quarter. Could barely move on the concourse.

Pretty sure that’s the same thing with the bengals too.
I really don’t know how teams like that can operate.

Through current revenue sharing model each team is pretty much guaranteed a floor over $400M a year. Then you have the local revenue on top of that

They also want a dome. This allows them to host the Super Bowl.

Makes sense. I’d also assume that the Halas family will always have a spot at the table. As will the Brown family.

Colts as well… that’s why the chick owner is so involved

Money. It’s always money.

No they don't. The Bears said they would pay for the stadium. They asked for tax certainty and surrounding infrastructure support from the state. They can't build roads by themselves.

Correct. George Halas was just a player, coach, and sales rep. He was given the Decatur Staleys to move to Chicago because it was a money pit for the owner. His whole family's life is wrapped up in the Bears. Hell, Virginia was his secretary and she married his treasurer.
