Bear Down: Football in the Windy City

August 28, 2026 - January 3, 2027

"Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it," said George “Papa Bear” Halas. For over 100 years, the Chicago Bears have dedicated their best efforts to the city of Chicago. Their history is not only deeply intertwined with the essence of Chicago, but it is woven into the fabric of the hallowed stadiums that they’ve played on and their fans that have cheered them on since 1920. From the moment George Halas decided that Chicago needed a professional football team to the competitive ambition of today's squads, fans have witnessed the transformative journey and experienced the highs and lows of each season while seeing some of the greatest players in sport’s history. Bear Down: Football in the Windy City will allow fans to explore the dynamic journey of the franchise through its triumphs and challenges. It will showcase significant moments that have defined the team and its impact on local football and the National Football League as a whole.
