The Chicago Bears have some big plans for the new stadium they’re looking to build to replace their longtime home of Soldier Field. Of course, they aren’t planning to pay for it all themselves.
The team revealed reveal plans Wednesday for a $4.6 billion project to build a new enclosed stadium on the Lake Michigan lakefront area. The team is planning to pledge $2.025 billion to make it happen, leaving Illinois taxpayers on the hook for the remaining $2.6 billion.
For perspective, that works out to $183 per Illinois resident.
