===Replacement talks=== In 1989, Soldier Field's future was in jeopardy after a proposal was created for a "McDome", which was intended to be a domed stadium for the Bears, but was rejected by the [[Illinois Legislature]] in 1990. Because of this, Bears president [[Michael McCaskey]] considered relocation as a possible factor for a new stadium. The Bears had also purchased options in [[Hoffman Estates]], [[Elk Grove Village]] and [[Aurora, Illinois|Aurora]]. In 1995, McCaskey announced that he and [[Northwest Indiana]] developers agreed to construction of an [[Family entertainment center|entertainment complex]] called "Planet Park", which would also include a new stadium. However, the plan was rejected by the Lake County Council, and in 1998, then-Chicago mayor [[Richard M. Daley]] proposed that the Bears share [[Guaranteed Rate Field|Comiskey Park]] with the [[Chicago White Sox]].<ref name="BearsHistory">{{cite web |url=http://www.bearshistory.com/lore/soldierfieldhistory.aspx |title=Soldier Field History |last=Taylor |first=Roy |date=2003 |publisher=Bearshistory.com |access-date=July 24, 2012 |archive-date=June 18, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060618034149/http://www.bearshistory.com/lore/soldierfieldhistory.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>
