Mayor Lightfoot, citing security concerns, wanted Chicago Bears to change her season ticket seats

Here's another good reason for the Chicago Bears to move to the suburbs.

Oh, a translation: The 400 level are the nosebleed seats at Soldier Field.

From the Chicago Tribune:

In the summer of 2019, as the Chicago Bears geared up for their 100th season, the team’s top officials had to tackle a sensitive off-field matter.

Citing security concerns, Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration had requested "updating" her season tickets, which she’d held for years before being elected months earlier to the top job at City Hall.

Lightfoot’s security detail worried that she would be hard to protect in the seats on the lakefront stadium's 400 level, so they approached the Bears about moving her to a different location. Team officials, including President Ted Phillips, worked with Lightfoot's representatives to try to accommodate their security concerns and move the mayor’s seats — but the Bears had a problem of their own.

From the team’s perspective, a 2016 ethics board ruling inspired by the Chicago Cubs’ World Series run complicated the question of whether they could offer the mayor a free or even face-value upgrade.

Da Bears held their ground--there was no upgrade for Lightfoot.
