That dome is sounding better by the day for some Bears fans. An enclosed suburban stadium might be in the playbook for the team years from now, but it’ll merely be a toasty fantasy for the shivering crowds that pack into a frigid Soldier Field this weekend after the season’s first major snowstorm barrels through Chicago. That’s got many fans calling an audible this week, as ticket prices have plummeted for the Bears’ matchup on Saturday versus the Buffalo Bills — a contest that could end up among the coldest games ever played on the lakefront. By Wednesday afternoon, grandstand seats that typically go for about $150 apiece were on the block for just $15 before fees on all the major ticket resale websites. A few lower-level seats near the Bears sideline were going for less than $100 before fees, virtually unheard of in the team’s generally robust secondary ticket market. While that could have something to do with the Bears’ last-place 3-11 record, it’s also due to the forecasted high temperature of 10 degrees — sure to feel even more bone-chilling from the upper deck with winds gusting in off the lake.
