American studio Manica Architecture and National Football League team Chicago Bears have unveiled the design of a football stadium along Lake Michigan in Chicago, drawing criticism from preservationists.

Manica Architecture designed the multi-purpose recreational campus – featuring a stadium enclosed with a translucent roof – to bring a variety of concerts, community celebrations, and sporting events to the Windy City’s downtown, to replace the Bears’ current home at Soldier Field.

The transformative project will increase public open and green space, providing Chicago’s families a safe place to gather and play,” the Kansas City-based studio said in a press release.

“The recreational campus anchored by the new state-of-the-art stadium will enhance the existing vitality of downtown, increase connectedness to the adjacent museums, and attract residents and visitors alike to a more vibrant and dynamic cultural destination that can be enjoyed throughout the year.”
