One mayoral candidate has suggested that, if the Bears abandon Chicago for Arlington Heights, the city should renovate Soldier Field and lease it to another NFL team. Another with deeper pockets has talked about buying a team and making the 99-year-old stadium its home. And Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said, “There’s plenty of cities that have two NFL teams.’’
Is revenge a good enough reason to want a second franchise in Chicago?
After what Bears ownership has put the city through, after all the losing and all the ineptitude, yes.
