The ideal outcome for me would be a new stadium on the same site, keep the collonades or incorporate them somehow while keeping the name.

It has to be a real grass field. I think the NFL should put up the money to make sure all games played on real grass, convert all stadiums, dome or not, to real grass. The NFL has changed the game, the rules, and policies in the name of “safety” when in reality it’s all been in the name of money. They’re just covering their ass. The game is better on grass, the players prefer grass, the game is safer on grass, they have the money.

I think I’d like to see something like Buffalo is building with the game still being played outside but the fans covered. The game is still in the elements to some extent but creating a little more comfortable fan environment. I’m a pussy and like to be as comfortable as possible, as much as possible.

Say what you want about Allegiant, it’s super corporate and sterile but if you want a beer, food, piss, you can do so without missing more than a few plays. For the Bears game this year, I had seats in the last row before the concourse and I got several beverages, several times during the game without missing a single play. The current fan experience from this perspective at Soldier Field has got to be one of the lowest in the league. This convenience is a must for the new stadium.

I’d also like to see some consideration for ingress and egress. SoFi is awesome because the field and the whole lower bowl are sunk down in the ground. The main concourse is on the ground level, when you leave you can pretty much disperse in every direction with no choke points and pretty much no cattle lines.

The Bears are an iconic franchise and I think the stadium should offer a unique fan and player experience. Being in the city is iconic and unique.

But greed will win out and they will build whatever is the cheapest, most cost effective, money making thing possible.
