Keep Da Bears in Chicago
Keep Da Bears in Chicago
The Issue
The Chicago Bears are more than just a football team; they are an integral part of the cultural fabric and identity of our city, Chicago. For generations, families have gathered to cheer on our Bears, experiencing triumphs and tribulations that have united us in spirit and passion. The team represents not just athletic aspirations but a significant part of our cherished traditions, our shared memories, and our collective heart as a community.
There is an ongoing conversation about relocating the team, removing them from the soil where their roots have grown deep, stretching back over a century. This potential move threatens not only the historical legacy but also our local economy, impacting small businesses, stadium employees, and tourism. Chicago's identity as a sports city is woven with the legacy of the Bears, a team that has called this city home since 1921.
In 2020, the Chicago Bears generated hundreds of millions in economic impact for the region. Reports suggest that revenue from game days stimulates local businesses, such as restaurants and retail shops, increasing their income significantly. Losing the team could result in severe economic ramifications amidst our recovery phase from the pandemic.
Furthermore, Soldier Field, with its rich history, serves as a beacon of local pride and unity. Relocating the Bears would mean the loss of a valuable historic site, disrupting a tradition that has brought people together and fostered a sense of community for decades.
We must stand together and urge city officials, team executives, and stakeholders to prioritize keeping the Chicago Bears in Chicago. Let's propose solutions like improving stadium facilities or exploring public-private partnerships to invest in the home of the Bears, safeguarding their place in our city.
Please sign this petition to support our fight to keep Da Bears in the heart of their true home, Chicago. Together, as a united community, we can ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the camaraderie and pride that come with having the Bears remain right here with us.
