"I don't like them playing anywhere other than Soldier Field. I know it's not a possibility, I guess, going forward Solider Field is out," Urlacher said. "There's talk about building a dome where ever they go. I hate that. I don't see the Bears playing anywhere but outside. You don't get a lot of things to go in your direction, weather is one of our things that works in our favor, use it... It's frustrating for me, because Solider Field to me is the Bears."

Urlacher played 13 seasons for the Bears, all at Soldier Field.

He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
