been wondering about that. Is it worth having the indoor facility for a Final Four once every 15 years and a couple of Taylor Swift concerts every five years?
It can also be used as a convention hall.
The Superdome is used over 200 days a year.

Chicago already has McCormick Place which (I think) is still the largest convention center in the world.

Guarantee that this new dome would be used just as much considering how much tourism (55M in 2017) there is into Chicago this should be a no-brainer for the taxpayers. A dome would guarantee that they get a Super Bowl as well even though it is a cold weather city.

Largest in North America but built in 1958.

But they have a perfectly fine football stadium already. Chicago's convention center is one of the largest in the country as well.
The money would be better spent to buy Soldier Field from the city of Chicago, get naming rights, upgrade the infrastructure around the stadium, and upgrade the stadium itself. It'll be far cheaper all-around and not cost taxpayer dollars.
Reimagine Soldier Field
