Bears President Kevin Warren: Goal remains to begin construction of new stadium in 2025

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said this week that it will be “almost impossible” for a deal on a new stadium for the Bears to be finalized before the end of 2024, but that doesn’t alter the team’s view on when they can begin construction.

Bears president Kevin Warren sat down with ESPN during Thursday night’s Hall of Fame Game and said the team’s goal remains to “be on the field moving dirt in 2025” with an eye toward being in a new stadium for the 2028 season.

“It’s exactly where I thought we would be right now,” Warren said.

Warren said building a new stadium in the city remains the team’s preference, but noted that the land the team owns in Arlington Heights also remains a possibility. Based on Pritzker’s comments, there won’t be any progress on either site for quite some time.
