Matchup: Chicago Bears (w) vs. Minnesota Vikings
Setting:
- I had to fly to Chicago for a work trip
- Took a 7am flight to Chicago. Followed by public transportation.
- It was snow storm that morning and we got to the stadium pretty early.
- We were VERY high up on the 50 yard line. We were in row 28 (7 rows from the top). Very steep stairs.
- The stadium is similar to Buffalo where the stadium is deep set into the ground so we entered at the 300/400 level so lower levels where down.
- Heat warmers DID NOT HELP us fight the cold.
- They had beautiful marble in front of the stadium. Makes it look gorgeous from the outside. Very odd setup on the inside.
Highlights:
- The team was just coming off an embarrassing loss vs. the Packers. The fans were rather unhappy. They often boo'ed - especially Cutler. They never really were happy, even when they won. After the game they were more focused on getting out of the stadium and no one was happy or cheering.
- They sang a song when they scored like most teams.
- Cheered "Bear Down"
- The fans drank so much beer. Those beer guys bringing beer to seated fans were never bored and constantly busy.
Trip Memories:
- Had deep dish pizza while in Chicago :)
- Took a cab to Boiling Brook, IL where i stayed for the night before my business meeting.
