Officials in Chicago are considering putting a roof over Soldier Field to try to convince the Bears to stay put, but they don't seem interested.
The Bears have announced that they will buy land in Arlington Heights with a stadium-sized lot. However, they released a statement stating that the idea of Soldier Field being a domed structure is not part of their plans.
Arlington Park is the only possible project that Chicago Bears are looking into for a new stadium development. The team stated that they have reached a mutual agreement with the seller to not pursue other stadium sites or deals, such as renovations of Soldier Field, while under contract.
Chicago's plans for renovating Soldier Field and the surrounding area are more than just about the Bears. The city wants Soldier Field to be used throughout the year and not just during football seasons. The Bears may soon stop using it, and they seem to be ready to move on.
