The Chicago Bears — one of the National Football League’s charter franchises — on Wednesday unveiled plans for a new stadium project on the lakefront partly funded by the public that would give the team a facility in line with many of the NFL’s ultra-modern, fan-friendly structures. Joined by Mayor Brandon Johnson and other local political leaders, team officials held a noontime news conference at their current home — 100-year-old Soldier Field — where they detailed what the multi-purpose, fix-roofed, 77,000-capacity stadium and surrounding area would look like and sketched out how the plan would be funded. Absent from the event was Illinois Gov.
