Family Night With the Bears
Click to see a few more pictures
We haven’t made it out to Bourbannais for Bears camp yet so we decided to head up to Soldier Field to see the Bears.
Family Night turned out to be more fun than I thought it would. There was a band playing outside the stadium and quite a few vendors to check out.
We had nosebleed seats but they weren’t all that bad. Good view of the field. Watching the practice was sort of like watching paint dry from that distance though. It did get a little more interesting once they started the 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills though.
There was a fireworks show right after the practice. Great show. It was right on top of us! We were in the north end zone and they were launching them from right outside the stadium!
We parked in the south lot and it was total gridlock. Everyone was in good spirits ‘cept for the woman who kept laying on her horn. I thought it was just someone messing around but when she got near us you could clearly see she was dead serious on getting out of that lot. She must not get out much.
Overall, it was a good Friday night. I hope we can get down to camp so I can get some better pictures of the players. We’ll see….
