Santa Clara seems a good comparison. And probably close to the level of stadium that would be constructed, unless a dome is added

And this is why the Bears will be leaving. They have to look no further than Wrigley and see what the Ricketts have done. Sure they have a stadium, but they also have an office building with retail and restaurants and a hotel with restaurants, and soon a sports book operation. They have a year round revenue stream, not to mention significant real estate assets. Chicago cannot offer that to the Bears since the stadium is located in park land.
