CANTON, Ohio — With the Hall of Fame game between the Bears and Texans in a weather-related delay Thursday, ESPN asked Bears president Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles to join Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in its broadcast booth.
There was nothing especially revelatory, though Warren reiterated his ideal timeline for the new stadium opening for the 2028 season and left open the possibilities of both the Chicago Parks Department’s lakefront property south of Soldier Field and the 326-acre property the Bears own in Arlington Heights.
“It’s exactly where I thought we would be,” Warren said of where the endeavor stands.
