The infrastructure is already in place for the Bears to remain in Chicago. At least in the Richton Park, the people won't show up bitching about the Bears and businesses developing on all their undeveloped land. Also, it's easily accessible by MANY expressways and public transportation.
It all depends on how much the city is willing to give up to keep them. There is a magic number where it makes sense. Will the Curious Hair types let them do it? After all, stadiums are money losers for cities but Chicago seems desperate to stop the Bears from building their own private stadium and Curious Hair HATES the idea of them moving to Arlington Heights.
While I agree with you BRick that this will eventually get done, I do not agree there is a magic number for the Bears. The Bears want / need to outright own the stadium. That is never going to happen in Chicago.
Infrastructure around Soldier Field is a disaster and any type o renovation project will cost more than the suburban sites.
I personally could care less where they play.
The Bears would probably accept the Indianapolis deal where the Colts get paid when the Final Four and other events are played in the public stadium they supposedly play for. They turned the Irsay family into billionaires with it.
