Soldier Field 2.0, Fun Chi Memberships, and Final Four Mugs
The Bears’ search for a new home is making headlines once again just before the end of the year as reports surface that the team is looking into whether they could build a new stadium in the south parking lot of Soldier Field. Executive producer Simone Alicea and host Jacoby Cochran are running through the Bears’ current options on the table and discuss potential pushback to a new lakefront stadium. Plus, we’ve got unique memberships to give for the holidays and our Christkindlmarket mug final four.
