1921, that's over 100 years ago.
And I know the Chicago Bears were around, but they were a founding member of the National Football League.
They played actually in 1921 at Wrigley Field where the Cubs now play.
But the thing to know about Soldier Field is it's not only the oldest stadium in the NFL inaugurated in the early 1970s, but it's also the smallest with a capacity of 61,500 fans per home game.
And then another thing to know about Soldier Field, it's outside.
And if you're building a new stadium, if you are a franchise that wants to maximize revenue out of your arena, you are going to build a bigger dome.
And that's where everyone is moving to.
Buffalo is getting a dome.
Kansas City, all these new stadiums are domes because you can use them throughout the year for things other than eight home football games.
You can put concerts there.
You can have a Final Four.
You can put on a World Cup, things like that.
So that's where everybody's moving to.
Soldier Field is just fantastic.
Sort of antiquated at this point, and the Bears have been wishy-washy.
They've been trying to get concessions from Illinois.
They've been trying to get concessions from Indiana.
Looks like Indiana is now in the lead.
Yeah, there's a long debate about whether governments should subsidize the new arenas of billionaire or very wealthy team ownership.
And so Illinois is kind of dragging its feet a little bit.
