Warren envisions a stadium just south of the Bears’ current home at Soldier Field, on the site of what is now a parking lot. The facility would seat about 65,000 for football, with standing room up to 70,000, and a capacity of 77,000 for basketball.

Amid the Bears’ wider search for a new stadium site, the mayor refused to speculate on the team’s motivations but reaffirmed that Chicago provides the strongest long-term home — and said he’s ready to continue discussions.
