Bears to unveil plans for domed lakefront stadium

The Bears will unveil plans for a "new enclosed stadium on the Chicago lakefront" during a news conference tomorrow at Soldier Field. The Bears are planning for "a state-of-the-art, publicly owned enclosed stadium, along with additional green and open space with access to the lakefront for families and fans, on the Museum Campus." The Bears in recent months have "shifted the focus of their stadium search" to the parking lot on the south side of Soldier Field. The team is prepared to provide $2B to support a publicly owned stadium on the Museum Campus, but it "remains unclear exactly how much public money the Bears will be seeking." Tomorrow's news conference will happen just one day before a "potentially transformative NFL Draft night" for the Bears, who hold the No. 1 overall draft pick and appear "likely to select" USC QB Caleb Williams (Chicago DAILY HERALD, 4/22).
