Chicago Bears Football 2007 Schedule

Growing up in Chicago I remember the 1985 Bears season vividly. I was in 5th grade at the time and we would watch each game on TV as a family every week all season. The buzz surrounding the team and the unusual personalities of the players and their character was amazingly entertaining for the city and the nation. Many people who gew up in that time were cemented as lifetime Chicago Bears fans and will always have a high regard for the 85 Bears players and the Chicago Bears Team of today.

The Chicago Bears lost the super bowl last year in 2006 but we know that they can rise to greatness again. The fans of Chicago have been preparing their tailgating, bratwurst and facepaint in preparation for the 2007 season. Many people believe that Lovey Smith will lead the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2007 if they can stay on track. Already, they have won 3 of their 4 pre-season games. And with good quarterbacks and hopefully few injuries the path to winning is available there again.

Below is the schedule from the Chicago Bears site. The other item worth noting is that when there is a home game at Soldier Field, it creates traffic havoc in the City. If you have tickets and do go to games, please take public transportation from the suburbs and in the city. The traffic backs up Lake Shore Drive and all the highways and tollways leading downtown for 2 hours before and after each game ( I-290, I-55, 90-94 and I-90)  Or you can get there early and stay late with tailgating. (but please limit the beer, too much drinking creates a lot of crowd fights and problems, and makes it impossible to drive home legally)

For the rest of us, Avoid Downtown around the home football games on September 16 & 23, October 14 & 28, November 25 and December 2, 23 & 30. The traffic will be a problem, and it restricts your access to the Museum Campus, McCormick Place, the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium. Not to mention the lakefront in general. If you are listening or watching from home, WBBM 780 AM broadcasts the games on the radio and FOX Channel 32 broadcasts most of the games on TV. A few though are broadcast by NBC Channel 5 and CBS Channel 2 in Chicago. (not sure what channels they’re on with cable)

Here is a handy dandy list to print out and keep on the fridge to see what channels the game is on.

Happy Football Season!
