POLL: Bear down at Soldier Field, Chicagoans tell team — but don’t ask us to bear the cost

More than half of Chicagoans want the Bears to stay at Soldier Field instead of moving to Arlington Heights, a new poll found — but roughly the same percentage say they don’t want their tax dollars used to upgrade the lakefront stadium. (John J. Kim/Sun-Times-file)

We want you to stay, but we’d rather not pay. 

That’s the message from most city voters to the Chicago Bears as the team considers leaving Soldier Field for greener pastures in the northwest suburbs, according to a Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ/Telemundo Chicago/NBC5 Poll.
