They'd rather make fans take a CTA bus, for an extra fare, from Union or Ogilvie.
The Bears moving out to the burbs means fans are more likely to drive than ever. There will be massive tailgating lots around the new stadium, guaranteed.
hell no, this is a terrible idea unless you want to light billions of dollars in taxpayer money on fire. SF's stadium is just fine without a dome, and the capacity is in the high 60,000s just like many other NFL stadiums. Even the new SoFi stadium in LA that everyone loves to drool over has only 1500 more seats than SF.
If the bears can do an old-school inflatable dome using their own money, I'm fine with that.

So you want none of the things I mentioned. No Super Bowl or anything I suggested for you than. It's the 21st century man. This we will suffer is the cold mentality has to stop, we are in modern times now.
You can watch off of those other thinks I mentioned on TV in a Domed Stadium in some other City.
Let it sit stagnate for 6 months out of the year.
I don't even think the Bears are stupid enough to do that. And yes the Bears are stupid. Just look at that UFO monstrosity that desecrated SF. BTW Who said Taxpayers are paying anything anyway?
We know the bears are cheap so will will not get a Jerry Dome but
something more like this but more seating. But unfortunately not this nice.

The Folks Who Designed the Raiders’ New Stadium Will Help the Bears Design One for Arlington Heights
March 17, 2022, by Luis Medina Chicago Bears
The worst-kept secret around town is the Bears’ exploration of building a new stadium in Arlington Heights. Back in September, word broke that the Bears were in agreement to buy Arlington Park. The land that comes with that purchase is the top spot for a possible new home for the team should it decide to leave Soldier Field. And while reaching a purchase agreement might look like part of a pressure campaign, the Bears’ latest move is a more concrete step toward leaving Soldier Field.
That’s because, to help them in this process, the Bears have reportedly chosen Manica Architecture as part of the team that will aid them in designing their new stadium in Arlington Heights:
Breaking: The @ChicagoBears are working with Manica Architecture, Jones Lang LaSalle, CAA Icon and Legends/CSL on initial concepts for their new #NFL stadium in Arlington Heights.
