The football team’s lease at Soldier Field in Chicago expires in 2033. “Finalizing the agreement was the critical next step in continuing our exploration of the property and its potential,” says Ted Phillips, Bears president and CEO. “Much work remains to be completed, including working closely with the Village of Arlington Heights and surrounding communities.” However, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted late last night that her administrative team remains committed to keeping the team in the city.
