Why Building the Impossible Chicago's $5 Billion Stadium

The Chicago Bears want to build a new stadium on the lakefront — a $5 billion domed facility that would be the largest stadium in the NFL. The city has pushed back. The state has pushed back. Environmental groups have pushed back. And the Bears have already paid $197.5 million for a piece of land that the project may never use. This is the story of the most politically complicated stadium project in America — and whether Chicago is actually going to build it. 0:00 The Bears' $5 billion bet 1:30 What they want to build and where 3:30 Why the lakefront is politically radioactive 6:00 The Arlington Heights alternative 8:30 Where the money comes from 11:00 What happens if the deal falls through #ChicagoBears #NFLStadium #Chicago #ArlingtonPark #StadiumFinance #SuperStructures #ChicagoConstruction
