The only con of that plan would be that the Bears would probably have to demo Comiskey in order to fit their stadium, without displacing the residents of Wentworth Gardens or paving over Armor Square Park. |
It'll be plenty expensive to tear down the upper deck and redesign the Soldier Field bowl for soccer. Plenty of stuff for Mansueto to spend money on.
I definitely think an NFL stadium can fit at 35th/Shields. Air Force Academy HS might need to relocate, but there's plenty of vacant school buildings on the South Side... Wentworth Gardens should benefit honestly, the Sox play 81 home games and the Bears only play 8.
