It’s an October Sunday at 8:00 AM, you just woke up, and all your mind is on is the great day you have ahead. You’re up and out of the door by 9:30, dressed in some jeans and a hoodie, and on top, you have on your finest white and orange jersey with a number 13 and the last name Williams on your back. 30 minutes into your drive, you are greeted by the beautiful sights of Chicago’s one and only Lake Shore Drive. Where, then, you see the magnificent Soldier Field, where you are about to have an experience that will last you a lifetime. Hello readers, my name is Chris Morgan, and by the end of this blog, I will have you ready to see some Bears football at Soldier Field!
Now I know, after reading that visualizer, most of you are already completely sold and are itching for the next possible opportunity to go to Soldier Field and go see those Bears. Now, if it wasn’t that easy to get you on board and you are still a little skeptical or maybe just questioning why you should go, then I have what it takes to convince you to come on through and support those Bears!
I know that there are lots of different people with different perspectives reading this blog, but I know a lot of you all who were attracted by this are fans of football. Even if you’re not, do not be afraid cause this point can still resonate with you, but I know it will really hit hard for my lovers of the game out there! Almost every football fan out there loves an opportunity to watch a game with your own two eyes in person. From watching a local high school team or, taking a trip back to your alma mater to see some college ball being played, we all love a chance to see some action in person on that field. So if you can agree with that then you should also be fully on board with taking the step to experience the football heaven that is a Bears game at Soldier Field. Beyond the benefit of being able to see some of the best in the world at this sport play their game, at Soldier Field, you are immersed into a space driven by the love of football surrounded by people who all share the same passion for the game!
Now, I know there are some readers who aren’t the football fanatics, where the details of the last paragraph will get you going and have you ready to buy some tickets ASAP. Some of you are looking for something in your experience of going to a game that may supercede simply what’s happening on the field. Well, if this is you, then believe me, the Bears football experience at Soldier Field has more to offer and is about far more than just football. For those going to a game looking to have a good time outside of simply watching the game,allow me to introduce you all to tailgating. One of the biggest parts of Bears home game culture. For those who may be unfamiliar, tailgating is usually when people hang out in the parking lots of sporting events. It is very custom for people to bring grills and cook , play music, and play games with family and friends. A great way that I personally can describe the tailgating experience due to the warm welcoming vibes given from is a big huge family backyard barbecue in a parking lot. So regardless of how much you’re into football I know we all love having a good cookout!
After reading all of this I hope all of my readers who initially were on the fence and don’t know if this experience was really something for them have now, with my help joined the rest of us on the train of realization of how great of a time you can truly have at a Bears game! I truly thank all of you readers for taking the time out of your day to read this, and opening your mind a new experience that I hope all of you who read this will have the chance to enjoy. BEAR DOWN!
