Mayor Lightfoot Announces Soldier Field Renovation Project
Clip: 7/26/2022 | 8m 1sVideo has Closed Captions
A new proposal to upgrade Soldier Field could mean the war memorial could get a new name.
You could call it a Hail Mary, or rather, a Hail Lori attempt to keep the Bears from a possible move to Arlington Heights. Yesterday Lightfoot and city officials unveiled proposals to put a roof on Soldier Field and thoroughly modernize the facility to meet the demands of today's NFL. The improvements could cost upwards of $2 billion. This as the city has 10 years and $640 million dollars
