CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Bears on Wednesday will unveil their multi-billion-dollar plan for a new domed lakefront stadium, including added green space on the Museum Campus.
The Bears will finally shed light on what they are calling a "state-of-the-art, publicly owned enclosed stadium" along the lakefront.
Joined by Mayor Brandon Johnson and other local leaders, the team will unveil their plans at noon on Wednesday at their current home stadium, Soldier Field.
According to a report from the Chicago Tribune, the plan will ask taxpayers to kick in half of the costs to build a new $3.2 billion domed stadium and $1.4 billion in infrastructure improvements on the Museum Campus, where Soldier Field is located.
The team said last month it was prepared to put more than $2 billion dollars in funding towards a publicly owned stadium, but the Bears' plan reportedly includes $2.3 billion in public financing.
