a huge football stadium,
the
renderings were provided by Manica Architecture, American studio Manica Architecture and National Football League team Chicago Bears have unveiled the
design of a football stadium along Lake Michigan in Chicago,
which if it goes ahead will be as far as I can tell will be totally unique, for this reason,
it will feature a glass curtain wall at the entrance and a
glass dome on top,
"The transformative project will increase public open
and green space, providing Chicago's families a safe place to gather and
play," the Kansas City-based studio said in a press release, "The
recreational campus anchored by the new state-of-the-art stadium will enhance
the existing vitality of downtown, increase connectedness to the adjacent
museums, and attract residents and visitors alike to a more vibrant and dynamic
cultural destination that can be enjoyed throughout the year."
a multi-story glass wall will open the north end zone to a
large public plaza and a view of the Chicago skyline, the stadium and associated
campus improvements will be "one of the largest construction projects in
Illinois history," while the stadium and associated improvements will
"add open space, improve accessibility, and provide Chicago families and
tourists a safe place to gather year-round", according to the architecture
studio, it
has an estimated to cost over $4.2 billion, with the sports franchise
committing to contribute over $2 billion with additional prospective
contributions from the NFL and the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority. The
remainder of the funding, approximately $1.5 billion, could be drawn from state
taxpayers – a financial priority doubted by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker following the
Bears' announcement, but in any event, what a great sight to see as you approach the stadium.
