Chicago Bears have released some stunning AI-generated images of a new stadium that could be built on the city waterfront - but not all residents in The Windy City are impressed.
The NFL team shared the pictures on Wednesday afternoon, before Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson led a press conference about the proposals.
According to FOX32 Chicago, the stadium will cost around $3.2billion to build with the Bears paying for $2billion themselves. It would hold 65,000 people with a target opening of 2028.
The stadium will not only host sporting events - music concerts will be held there as well and 14 acres of green space and athletic fields will surround it.
But as the proposals were released on Wednesday, there was one recurring them in the reactions on social media: 'What about the parking?'
A world-class destination for a world-class city.
