Halas Hall drew Bears fans for the team’s first practice open to the public, turning the start of training camp into a season kickoff event in Lake Forest.
Nine more public practices are scheduled before Chicago’s first preseason game on Aug. 15, giving supporters repeated chances to watch players up close.
Fans arrived with high expectations after last season’s success, studying drills from the sidelines and voicing optimism about the Bears’ upcoming NFL campaign.
The practice also doubled as a fan festival, with autograph opportunities, food and entertainment areas, children’s face paint, and athletic challenge stations near the entrance.
