Bears will play their 100th season at Soldier Field in 2023 before considering new home options, including venues in Nashville or Los Angeles, amid COVID-19 pandemic challenges for team and league.
The Chicago Bears’ quest for a new home stadium has been stymied in recent years, but the team remains committed to finding a solution, according to former team president Jim Parsons, who announced the team’s plans to play their 100th season in 2023. However, there are questions surrounding how the team plans to move forward, as the team’s long-time stadium, Soldier Field, looms large over the city of Chicago, while other options for the team appear as far-fetched as a new stadium site in Nashville or Tennessee. The idea of moving to a new city in Texas has also been dismissed as being too far from the Southwest, while the possibility of playing outdoor games in Los Angeles has been met with mixed reviews. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on sports leagues globally remains an issue that could potentially derail any new stadium plans, as outdoor events in Los Angeles have already shown to be complicated to organize due to current health guidelines and restrictions.
