Landmark Development has released a video showing a "reimagined" Soldier Field, done partly with the idea of persuading the Chicago Bears to stay at the stadium

Landmark Development Releases Video with Domed Soldier Field

Landmark Development unveiled a video tour Sunday of a “reimagined” Soldier Field, including expanded seating, premium club lounges, food halls and an adjacent concert venue, topped by a dome to attract fair-weather football fans and year-round visitors. 

However, the Chicago Tribune reported, the primary target audience is the Chicago Bears, which plans to exit Soldier Field for a new stadium in Arlington Heights. 

“This is a proposal that we think sets a compelling case for a team like the Bears to want to stay at Soldier Field,” said Bob Dunn, president of Landmark Development. 

The six-minute video is meant to gain traction for the proposed $2.2-billion renovation of Soldier Field as an alternative to building a new stadium in the northwest suburbs. Keeping the Bears at Soldier Field might also help the cause of Landmark’s $3.8-billion One Central development near the stadium.
