On the eve of a football season that’s been billed as the beginning of a new era for the Chicago Bears, team President and CEO Kevin Warren continues to push for public financing for a new lakefront stadium for the charter NFL franchise despite ongoing skepticism from state officials who would have to approve a deal. Warren, arguing a new domed stadium near where Soldier Field is located would be a boon both for the team and the city, largely stuck to a familiar script as he spoke Thursday evening in front of a group of Chicago business leaders. Warren said the nearly $5 billion stadium project would create short-term construction jobs and long-term economic activity for the city.
