Still without a city stadium deal, Bears CEO open to teaming up with White Sox

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The Bears’ first game of the regular season is Sunday at Soldier Field. The team has not made progress on a new stadium, but the CEO says he’s open to working with other teams in town.

Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren said without construction cranes dotting the skyline, the city falls behind.

He told members of the Economic Club of Chicago that he’s ready to partner with the White Sox or other teams that are also looking for public funding for new stadiums.

“We have a great working relationship with them,” Warren said. “We have great respect for the Reinsdorf family, and we’re definitely going to work together to see what we can work out.”

Governor Pritzker said back in July it’s highly unlikely state lawmakers and the team will reach a deal on a taxpayer-funded stadium this year.
