FAQs
The Chicago Bears have been based out of Soldier Field for most of their NFL history. The owners of the Bears recently purchased the Arlington International Racecourse for $197.2 million and intend to move the Bears to the suburbs of Chicago. The current Bears stadium is the smallest stadium in the NFL and the Bears want to relocate to Arlington Heights to generate more revenue for the team's benefit.
The current Chicago Bears home stadium is Soldier Field. Established in 1924, it is the oldest stadium in the NFL and the MLS. Apart from being the home stadium for the Chicago Bears, it also serves as the home stadium for the Chicago Fire FC of the MLS. The historic venue has hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, and multiple CONCACAF Gold Cup championships.
The Chicago Bears have been owned by the Halas family since 1921. The current owner is Virginia Halas McCaskey, who has owned the team since 1983 after the death of her father George Halas. The 98 year old owner of the Bears is worth approximately $1.3 billion.
Technically Aaron Rodgers does not own the Chicago Bears. However, being an ex-Packers player through and through, he has dominated their fiercest rivals (the Chicago Bears) throughout his NFL career. Thus, Rodgers has often exclaimed that he owns the Bears (but only on field during games!)
