There's been talk about the possibility of another professional football team coming to Chicago for many years and it's finally happening in 2024.

Illinois Football Fans Hoping For Another Professional Team In Chicago

The Bears have dominated the professional football scene in the Windy City since they ran the Chicago Cardinals out of town a long time ago.

Many football fans in Illinois believe that Chicago is big enough to support another team. I agree with that statement. Since the Bears are planning on leaving the city for the suburbs in the near future, more and more residents are clamoring for another option.
