Team president deepens outreach to the state’s business community as the Chicago Bears continue to pursue public help for their new domed stadium plans.

Team president and CEO Kevin Warren applauds as the Bears announce their plans to build a new domed lakefront stadium on April 24, 2024, at Soldier Field. Chicago Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren is joining the board of a statewide economic development organization that works closely with Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration to help attract businesses to Illinois.

Previously as commissioner of the Big Ten and now as president of the Bears, Warren said he has seen “a convergence of sports, business, finance, entertainment, people, culture that is occurring in our society.” CEO Kevin Warren speaks during the 120th Annual Meeting of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce at the Hilton in the Loop on June 4, 2024.

On top of the borrowing to pay for the stadium itself, the Bears are looking for an additional $1.5 billion in public money for infrastructure improvements to the lakefront to fully realize the team’s vision, including plans to demolish most of Soldier Field and create more lakefront green space.
