The Chicago Bears have been one of NFL’s favorite teams for many years, and the ‘09 season didn’t appear to be any different. The Bears started their career, in professional football, back in 1919, making them one of the oldest teams in the NFL today. The team played so well, even back in the day, that they didn’t even know what a losing streak was, not until 1929. In 1921, the Bears began playing against the Green Bay Packers, which is still their #1 rival; these two teams have been battling it out on the field for years with no end in sight. In 1922 the Chicago Bears took on the colors they have today, yet another constant the team has been lucky enough to experience over the years.
Back in the day, the Chicago Bears played scrimmage games on what is known today as Wrigley Field — the Cubs home field. Since then, obviously, the Chicago Bears have gotten their own field to call home — Soldier Field. Due to the age of the stadium, it was remodeled earlier this century, leaving only the street side wall from the original architecture. By 2003, the Chicago Bears were playing in their newly built stadium, now known as Soldier Field II.
Whether on the road or playing at home, fanatics love to watch the Bears play live. Bears ticket sales are up in the top 20 highest team sales in the league, and in NFL history. Additionally, they have one of the greatest cash flows in NFL history with $1.1 billion. The Bears solid past and the training they continue to do make them a strong candidate for the 2010 season. Not only does the team have a solid reputation, coaching staff, and good players, they have brought new blood on the team in 2009, none other than Jay Cutler. Cutler is one of the leagues greatest quarterbacks, and recently left the Broncos to play with the Chicago Bears.
After 90 years on the league, the Bears have retired 13 numbers. Players like Walter Payton, Harold Grange, Sid Luckman, George Halas, George McAfee, and Bill George — some old and some more recent. Other retired jerseys belong to Willie Galimore, Dick Butkus, Bill Hewitt, Clyde Turner, Gayle Sayers, Brian Piccolo, and Bronko Naqurski. Their history runs deep and will for many years to come. Bears fans are just as dedicated to their team, as the team is to the field and their fans.
Football fans experience adrenaline like no other when watching a game, especially live, but nothing compares to the adrenaline a Chicago Bears fan experiences while sitting on the edge of their seat at Soldier Field II. In fact, Bears games are so thrilling you don’t even have to be a fan to feel as if you are in the game; they will keep you begging for more. You must see the Bears live in 2010 as it will be phenomenal season.
