Fans voice mixed reactions as Chicago Bears release stunning AI-rendered video of new $3.2BILLION lakefront stadium proposal: ‘Apparently there’s no need for parking!’

The Chicago Bears have released some stunning AI-generated images of a new stadium that could be built on the city’s waterfront, but not all residents of The Windy City are impressed.

The NFL team shared the photos Wednesday afternoon before Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson led a news conference on the proposals.

According to FOX32 Chicago, the stadium will cost approximately $3.2 billion to build, with the Bears themselves paying $2 billion. It could accommodate 65,000 people, with a target opening in 2028.

The stadium will not only host sporting events; it will also host music concerts and surround it with 14 hectares of green space and sports fields.

But when the proposals emerged on Wednesday, one came back in the social media comments: ‘What about parking?’

The location would be used by the Bears for football, as well as other events such as music concerts

One fan wrote on X, “Do we store our boats in Lake Michigan?” while another said: ‘Apparently there’s no need for parking’.

Another said: ‘Where are we going to park and tailgate? Now we have to watch out for pedestrians on bicycles and roller skates. Understood.’

Another X user wrote: ‘No place to park and 3 hours in traffic.’

When the Bears shared the images on Twitter on Wednesday, they wrote: “More than just a stadium.

“With 40 acres of new athletic fields and recreational park space, this project will provide Chicago families with a place to gather and play.

“With Soldier Field’s historic colonnades, this space will be able to be used for recreational and community events year-round.
