I don't hate the Bears but I don't necessarily like them, either, mainly because Bear-Packers and Bears-Vikings games were broadcast in KC every year during the 70's and 80's while playing the most boring football of all time.
Every freakin' weekend we'd get one, maybe two games on Sundays: Chiefs and whomever they were playing on the road (because they rarely sold enough tickets to beat the Blackout Rule) and the Bears, because Chicago is only like 500 miles away. The Bears haven't been relevant really since the mid-80's and that was such a brief time period of greatness that all of their shitty seasons have been mostly forgotten. But until the McCaskey family sells the team (which has been rumored this year), they'll suck ass because the owner is 190 years old. |

No one outside of Chicago would even notice if the Bears franchise was wiped from existence. |

They're circling the drain with their current ownership.
Only gripe they may have is Soldier Field is the smallest stadium in the NFL in one of the biggest markets. They could probably pack in a few thousand more Ditka wanna-be's regardless of their record. |

You got that right! I STILL can't believe they passed on Mahomes and Watson for Trubisky.

I'm with the Bears on this one.
They play in the third smallest stadium in the NFL, and it's a shit hole. No reason why Chicago doesn't have something like MetLife in New York. I think what the mayor said, while funny and true, was a huge mistake. COVID has changed the world in which we live. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in a crazy liberal city that's going to shut down over the next health scare. |

Soldier Field is terrible. There are about 5-6 stadiums that need to be blown up and replaced.
Fed Ex Field for the Redskins is one of them. It's a rust bucket and dump in the middle of the ghetto

That is what I was going to ask. Maybe then it is time for them to bail. Unless the move somewhere for three years, destroy soldier field, and rebuild it.

I personally believe the Bears are about to be really good. Managed to make the playoffs with Mitch and now they got a really accurate rookie.
And Soldier Field sucks |

When Virginia kicks the bucket, the team will be up for sale. Get a new stadium and that price tag will go up even more.

They either have to try that strategy again and hope for better results or do a total teardown. |

Las Vegas was happy to contribute $$ towards a new indoor stadium. I'm sure Chicago won't mind doing that as well. Think of all the events they could hold in a new indoor stadium.
Chicago or Las Vegas what's the difference people like to travel there. |
