Title
Chicago Bears History
Description
This site is not affiliated with, nor endorsed or recognized by the NFL or the Chicago Bears. It has been carefully and thoughtfully created by a Chicago Bears fan of 26 years and counting out of pure love for the subject matter. As Daily Herald reporter Robert Sanchez quoted in his December 2004 article on me, it was always a dream of mine to work for the Chicago Bears. Although I have not hidden behind this website and have made the organization aware of my efforts, "no one from Halas Hall has called," as Sanchez said. I have fun with this site, am happy that I assist other fans in their research on Chicago Bears history, and proud to say there is more information on this little site about the Chicago Bears than in any official team or league publication or website.
My father took me to my first Bears game at Soldier Field on September 30th, 1979, and again later that year to see the improbable 42-6 Bear victory over St. Louis on December 16th. My father then took me to each home game in 1980, then secured season tickets starting with the 1981 season. I relished the 1985 season more than legions of new Bear fans that were incarnated that year, as I had intently watched the team lose more than win over those past six seasons.
Late in high school through my college years at Illinois State, I paid more attention to studies and socializing than reading every written word about the team. I did get home to every game I could and made sure I had slept most of my Saturday night hangover off in time to see the Noon game on Sunday.
