A translucent dome and grandly-renovated stadium aren’t the only things included in a new video that shows how proposed renovations to Soldier Field could “reimagine” the space. Also included is an ambitious solution to one of the biggest pain points that die-hard Bears season ticket holders, fair weather fans and visitors all share: transportation.
A translucent dome, a concert space, food halls and a slew of new skyboxes and suites aren't the only things included in a new video that shows how proposed, grand renovations to Soldier Field could"reimagine" the stadium and surrounding space.
But according to a video from a group called the"Reimagine Soldier Field Coalition," that's where something called"One Central Station" comes in. The grandiose, six-minute video, part of a proposal to entice the Chicago Bears to remain in the city rather than "Upon arrival," the video says,"you ascend on the most dynamic entertainment district anywhere in the globe."
"This is nothing more than a brash repackaging of [Landmark Development Bob Dunn's] pitch for a state taxpayer bailout of his proposed One Central development," said the group One Community: Near South in a statement."We can’t allow a private developer to profit at taxpayers’ expense. State lawmakers have already approved $6.5 billion for this private development on top of the $631.15 million still owed for the existing Soldier Field. It’s time to stop this train.
