Bears just need to stay at Soldier Field.  That home field advantage we saw on Sat night will never be replicated in a sterile dome like they want to build.

Soldier field is trash, and home field advantage inside a dome is way louder than outside.  The weather doesn’t make a difference

Al Michaels said it was the loudest he's ever heard a football stadium.

Soldier Field is the smallest stadium in the NFL.  Adding 20,000 people, plus a roof, would make it WAY louder.

The Bears stadium plans they released called for a capacity barely larger than present.  I cant find it now, but Ill eat my hat if they have over 70k seats.  Owners dont want more regular seats, only luxury.

Ford Field gets super loud.

Just ask Jay Cutler.

I believe he said it was the loudest he's ever heard a game at Soldier Field.   Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but he did NOT say it was the loudest he's ever heard a football game. 

He said this was the 31st time he's done a game at Soldier Field and this was the loudest he's ever heard the place.

The Bears have been trying to get out of Soldier Field for almost as long as they've played there.   They moved there in '71 and in 1975, Halas was seriously considering a new stadium at Arlington Park.  Of course, they stopped looking to move when the 2002 renovations were done, but that didn't even last 20 years before grumblings about leaving the place surfaced again.

The whole "Bears weather" being a huge home field advantage thing is pretty much an urban legend.

This is correct.

The loudest ever, FOR CHICAGO, not ever overall.

This is not a reason to keep it

A Bears playoff victory in a dome in Hammond would be louder.

I just watched a video on Youtube where the  Governor of Indiana and the Mayor of Hammond talked about the proposed Indiana Bears stadium. The Mayor of Hammond said this should be settled soon if the Bears are going to move to Indiana.
