The Chicago Bears, a professional football team in the North Division of the AFL have been around since their debut in 1919. They first played in Decatur, IL, then moved to Chicago in 1921 and have been one of the top teams in the Midwest. The Super Bowl was introduced in 1967, and the Chicago Bears have participated in the title game twice, winning in 1986 against the New England Patriots and losing in 2007 to the Indianapolis Colts. They have won nine AFL Championships. The Bears play their home games at Soldier Field and have done so since 1971.
Even with the brutal winds and snow unleashed on the football fans in the open-aired stadium due in part to the frigid Lake Michigan, fans flood into the stadium for every home game and especially when the Bears are taking on their rivals, the Green Bay Packers.http://www.mahalo.com/chicago-bears-schedule

Tickets may also be offered on Craigslist or on E-Bay, but use caution when purchasing tickets.
If a ticket for the game was not available through any of the above venues, before purchasing a ticket from a scalper outside of the arena, check the box office first. Sometimes, unclaimed tickets may be available. The box office only accepts cash for Bear tickets and is only open on game days.
Scalping tickets is legal in Chicago, however be wary of buying tickets from a scalper. Once a person enters Soldier Field and validates his ticket, he cannot leave the stadium. Re-entry is prohibited. Scammers will pass their used tickets to someone on the outside for re-sale. There are no identifying marks on the ticket to show that it has already been used. By the time the purchaser tries to use the ticket and is refused entry, the scammer and money are gone. Ask the buyer to go to the gate with you so that you can check the validity of the ticket. If they're good, he should have no problem doing so.http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d104006-Reviews-Soldier_Field-Chicago_Illinois.html
