The reporting tracks game results and standings, coaching and staff changes, contract negotiations, draft picks and roster moves through the season and offseason. Coverage reaches Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Hyde Park, Logan Square and The Loop, and the Cook County facilities and agencies that stadium operations run through. Chicago's NFL franchise is among the oldest in professional football, and the relationship between the team's performance and the city's expectations shapes how roster and front office decisions are received and reported. A new stadium project — and the planning, financing and political negotiations around it — has added a major civic dimension to football coverage that extends well beyond the game.
