Go Bears Go!


Bears Football game
One thing that we have always wanted to do since moving out here is go to a Bears Football game. Jason has always enjoyed watching football and I never minded it. It wasn’t until we moved to Chicago that I learned to appreciate the game like I do now. I actually enjoy watching football and had hoped that one day we could go to a live game. Well one look at the cost of tickets and we quickly decided that tickets to a Bears game would not be first on our list of things to buy.
Luckily we have amazing friends and they have some great connections. Our good friend Tiffany’s boss has 4 season tickets to the Bears. He couldn’t go to the game against the Green Bay Packers and so he offered them to Rob and Tiff. Since Rob and Tiff love us they invited us to come along with them. It was so awesome!!!
We bundled up and put on many layers to keep us warm – it is Chicago so we knew it would be cold. When we got there we parked the car (her boss gave us his parking pass also) and walked around to view all the tailgaters. That was an experience all by itself! People really go all out for their tailgating parties. It was hilarious to see it!

Then the moment had come and we entered Soldier Field Stadium. I was so excited!! The stadium is a unique mix of old and new. It’s different but oh so cool! We went to our seats and that took my breath away. They were amazing seats. It was on the media deck and we were on the 40 yard line. There was only one section in front of us. These seats were amazing!!!! You could see everything so clear and close. There was another section above us so it protected us from the wind. Even the weather co-operated with us and we weren’t too cold. The fans were awesome too! It was such a cool experience to actually be there and watch a football game live. We had so much fun. Even though the Bears lost it was a great time and we loved our experience. Thanks Rob and Tiff! Go Bears!!!!
