Chicago Bears

$ 11 for a drink is reasonable, right?
Washing down your teams poor performance with overpriced refreshments tastes great right?
Walking forever to get back to transportation adds to your experience, right?

A bit of an odd stadium but nice none the less. The upper level seats go up really high and the views from all the way at the top are pretty bad, so try to not be above the middle of the top section.
The food is pretty standard stadium food, although the fried cheese curds are delicious. You get a generous size portion as well.

Opening day for the 2015 season against the Packers. Can’t ask for anything more except a win over Green Bay… maybe cheaper beer too lol. Nice stadium great atmosphere. Temperature was great on a September day with great views! Gotta love Chicago and the Bears fans!

1985 was a long time ago and Chicago is getting tired of waiting for the Bears to put a quality team on the field. Chicago deserves a better football team.

I am not a Chicago Bears fan, but I got to say that their stadium looks great from the outside. Wish we could have gone inside, but there were no tours being conducted at Soldier’s Field during the time we were there.
Good luck to you this season!

GO BEARS!!! I’ll watch your games even if you go 1 – 15!

Chicago Bears «Bear Down» NFC North Division.
Unilocal Challenge ⁵⁰⁄₁₀₀. Alright I’m at the halfway mark of the Unilocal challenge for writing a 100 reviews in a year. Whoop whoop
Damn, I remember the super shuffle like it was the other day. I was 9 and was moving and grooving at the time.
The Bears had a Nasty D that Super Bowl year. Buddy Ryan’s 46 defense was the shiznit. Richard Dent was the Super Bowl MVP. I love seeing non quarterback’s win the Super bowl MVP award. They kicked the Pats ass, that’s what I love to see.
It’s cool that I got to watch on Tv the Great Walter Payton. Jim McMahon was something else, dude wearing sunglasses looking cool with his headbands. The defense during that era was straight kicking ass and taking names type of D. Michael Singletary and his crazy eyes freaking the opposing teams out. The Fridge, just reminded me of a big olé teddy bear.
Who else besides me, liked Mike Ditka always going bananas on the sidelines?. Coach has passion for the game.
This year there’s a whole new coaching staff. I really like Vic Fangio, he was my teams DC for the past several years. Before that idiot Jed York, tore apart my team. Okay, rant over. Just know this Bears Nation, your defense will definitely be better this year.
Your main worry should be Jay Cutler, it’s like he plays with no love for the game second who’s going to step up now that Brandon Marshall has been traded?. You guys need someone else besides Jeffrey. Do you guys really think Eddie Royal is going to be lights out? Draft a Wr in the first round, that’s my take. Then add depth all the way around for the whole team.
If the players buy into Fangio’s coaching style, then you should be able to hold your own amongst your division rivals. Take care of the division first and everything else falls into place. Good luck Bears Nation, it’s going to be a dogfight with the Packers, Vikings and Lions.
Vincent D aka VD aka Vebola aka Vincent Vega.
Always, Enjoying the simple things in life.

I just finished watching a Walter Payton video on YouTube and for some odd reason updating my Unilocal review for the organization popped into my head.
I’m still a Bears fan, but I can’t give the Bears a 5 star review. I want to fill this review with the most devilish expletives known to man, but I’m not. I just want you guys to win. Bring back the winning ways that I was accustomed to growing up as a kid. Every Bear fan is living in the past and not the future. There is nothing to cheer for. It’s sucks watching the first game every season and already know it’s going to be a rough year. Just win and do it consistently…
Born in Illinois and raised in California. I still cheer for my Bears. Bear down!
«Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory.

Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you’re wearing the crown.
You’re the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, Bear down.»
A tip for everyone that came after Ditka: GEAD
A tip for Unilocal: GEAD

I’ve decided to Bear all and write reviews of all 32 NFL teams, but I can’t Bear to do them all at once so I’m going to do it a division at a time. Bear with me.
First-​Hand Experience: I’ve seen the Bears beat the Vikings at home and then beat the Lions away, so I think I’m a lucky fan for them or something. I prefer the Packers, but I do love the city and spirit and passion of the Bears fans a lot. They score a solid 4 from me. If they could learn how to capitalize on their past success and bring in the kind of players these fans deserve then I’d give them 5. Their stadium is fun but a little odd, too. Not sure if it completely works. However seeing them live in person is a real pleasure and privilege.
Now that I’ve seen every NFL team play live & been to every NFL stadium (current and former), time to review them on Unilocal!I love stadiums! I’ve been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I’ve toured America as a musician for 7 years. In that time, I’ve seen sports games at (or visited when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I’ll upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
Chicago is freezing and windy. It’s also one of the best food cities, like, ever. Srsly. It can be friendlier than your average megalopolis, and it’s definitely very much into sports, and a little gentler with its sports teams than, say, NY, and a little more into its sports teams than, say, California or Florida.
the Bears are a fantastic team, with a cool looking (but surprisingly low capacity) stadium right by the beautiful lake. We all loved Lovie Smith and we all loved Brian Urlacher (and by we all, I mean Paris Hilton), and we are all grateful that the Bears were able to give Peyton Manning his much needed Floridian Superbowl win in the rain. Even if it had to be to your local rivals down the road.
By the way best Pizza in town if not Lou Malnati’s is Art Of Pizza. And you have one of the best taco places in America so go and eat there, it’s called L’Patron. Go there like now, like, hurry it’s that good. And then there’s Mario’s Italian Lemonade which is the best of its kind I have ever had ANYWHERRRRRE. Also try a Gyro from Central Gyros, and a sandwich from El Cubanito. I think that covers my highlights. Oh if you’re up in Milwaukee, try Leon’s. Banana Shake and the custard, wow.
The only reason Da Bears lose a star is because it has been a long long time since they’ve been really exciting in my opinion. We’d have to go all the way back and open up the refrigerator to get to a time when the Bears were something to really talk about. But I always like the Bears, and always will. I can’t decide which is my fave team in this division, it’s a three way tie, and the Bears share the honours.
Now my own refrigerator is looking a little Bear so I have to get going.

i Love the Chicago Bears. Anyone who trash talks them is from Wisconsin and has cheese breath.

DA BEARZ… yah they have their issues. Yah I scream at my tv but hey it’s Chicago’s team. It’s time for some football ladies and gentlemen.
THERES A FLAG ON THE FIELD…
WHERE…:

Go bears! Growing up in Chicago with my dad being a football fan of course I’m going to love the bears. (My dad still has a Ditka ‘stache) I’ve never been to a bears game but I love watching them play on Sundays.

SUPER BOWL
SUPER BOWL
SUPER BOWL
The best team around with the most heart and the most devoted (superfans). George and I root for them and bleed blue since we are Chicagoans who aren’t lame. They are have had their ups and downs but still rally, they are tough and mean but still seem like ok guys and I like the name and logo isn’t pussified. The games could be cheaper and the spaceship looking Soldier Field needs work but it’s always fun going.
Da Bears!

Go Bears! Great win last night in bitter cold!
This is Chicago. We don’t need a dome because we are the Superfans but if McCaskey ever pushed for one Ditka could build it himself in a week. But then he would tear it down because we are the Superfans and we don’t need a dome! Da Bearsss!!!
Bears vs. Bulls. Who would win? Answer: Such a match-​up would tear the fabric of the space-​time continuum and destroy the planet, meaning the United Nations would have to step in prior to the match to prevent the mass destruction.
Congratulations number 89!!! Long overdue retired number!!!

I won’t lie, I only started to watch DA BEARS and football in general during the ’05-’06 playoffs when they got into the Superbowl. However, since then, I have grown to love the sport, and I am an absolute die-​hard fan of the Bears, win or loose. There is something about our city and the vibe that football gives off that it makes it the best place to be a fan!
Chicago Bears have a great history that will forever live in this city, and no one can deny that, even the haters. Attending a regular season game is one of my most favorite activities, and regardless of where you sit, it’s a guaranteed a good time. I’ve had a privilege of sitting in the second row of the first section, where I was so close to the Vikings, that our booing made Jared Allen turn around and look at us. I’ve also sat in much worse seats, but it didn’t make the experience any worse. Granted, Soldier Field is one of the smaller stadiums in NFL, it has one of the best views of the city and having really cold weather makes it that much more exciting.
With our new head coach, there is a much higher probability of getting into the playoffs. Hopefully that will be the case, but if not, it’s still a hell of a good time to watch them every week. The only thing I can’t stand are the actual fans at times — when I hear booing in the stadium to our own team, I find that incredibly embarrassing.
Bear Down!

Okay, who don’t like the Chicago BEARS???
This is a storied franchise that most franchises wish that they were.
So when you have guys on your team with names of Hall of Famers and All Time Greats like George Halas, Sid Luckman, Bronco Nagurski (awesome name), Dick Butkus (I dare you to make fun of his name), Walter Peyton, Gayle Sayers, Mike Ditka (The Coach), Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, Dan Hampton, George Blanda and future HOF Brian Urlacher. How can anyone say this is not the greatest football franchise of all time. Yes better than any other franchise including those guys from up north.
The BEARS also have the best team song BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS. And how awesome are three uniforms as well at the mascot, it’s a freaken bear. Not to mention that there nickname is monsters of the midway. Who can forget the 85 BEARS which had the greatest defense of all times.
Enough said. Da BEARS

I think I would have given 3 stars but I love my Bears too much.
The staff here was a little lacking. Oddly they didn’t know much of the inventory and weren’t all that helpful. However, the selection of merchandise, jerseys, hats, etc… It doesn’t get any better!

Who can get tired of that old «Saturday Night Live» skit?
You know the one. Where three 1985 era Bears fans are dressed in jerseys and sun glasses debate the merits of who would win, if the Bears played, say. fill-​in the blank.
The one I liked the best was: «God, and his Heaven Choir» playing the ’85 Bears. «Who would win? «God… but only by a kick after!»
The new Soldier Field is great! But, in many ways I still miss the old place, though I wouldn’t want to give up all the modern amenities. LOL
Let’s Go Bears!

The Bears are a storied franchise but this is less a review of the Bears and more of a review of their fans. I was here for RG3s first game at Soldier Field during pre-​season.
You’re an awesome bunch, staying at a pre-​season game until the end even though you were crushing the Redskins until the 4^th quarter. Most other stadiums I’ve seen leave those games much earlier. The place was loud, the fans were into every play and being there for Da Bears game was very fun. I’d definitely come back.
PS — I love the hate the Bears fans have for Cutler. Hilarious!

Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We’ll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-​formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you’re wearing the crown.
You’re the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.
I Loves me some Bear Football, Chicago Style!
