Staying Warm at a Chicago Bears Game
How to stay warm and comfortable at Soldier Field on Sunday?

Lifelong season ticket holder here! Layers are obvious and important but should be well thought out! I’m a female so I will give you what I wear: Tank top, then long sleeved thermal top, then a hoodie over that top, then a down vest followed by my winter down coat. For my legs, I went on Amazon and purchased fleece lined leggings which I wear with sweatpants over them. If you’re a guy I’m sure they make them as well. Long underwear, etc. Jeans over the leggings are fine as well! I recently purchased heated gloves on Amazon as well and although they’re not a godsend, they’re great paired with hand and feet warmers you get at Walgreens! For my feet I do tube socks and then I wrap tin foil over my toes (yes seriously) followed by Saran Wrap (it keeps everything in place) and sometimes another pair of socks over, sometimes not. Cardboard used to be the trick here, but soldier field banned it recently. All of the above and a beanie hat get the job done! I don’t bother with scarves although it won’t hurt! See you Sunday! BEAR DOWN!

Also, a face gaiter is such a game changer if there’s a bit of wind. You can pull it up and down as you want and it makes a huge difference for your nose.

I was with you on all of that until you got to the cardboard. Can you explain that? Can you also explain why it’s been banned? And why didn’t you mention the peppermint schnapps, by the way?

Go to REI and tell them you’re climbing Denali…buy whatever they tell you minus crampons and an ice axe.

RIP – Pele
RIP to a true legend. Pelé’s exploits leading the amazing 1970 Brazil World Cup team–his last–are among my earliest memories. My condolences to Brazilians everywhere and to his countless fans around the world. https://t.co/yEqVqVKpBL

Rest in Peace – Demaryius Thomas
I’d like to think he got a small taste of the appreciation on that November afternoon a few months later, when he returned to Denver as a member of the Texans. The Broncos draped a massive banner on the side of the stadium reading, “Thank You D.T.” When he walked to the bus after the game, Manning’s kids ran up to him in little Thomas No. 87 Texans jerseys. I don’t even know how Manning was able to get them made in a matter of days. The children hugged Thomas like a favorite uncle they hadn’t seen in years. Just as he’d been during Manning’s retirement ceremony, Thomas was basically an honorary member of the family.
There wasn’t a person in that stadium who didn’t want a picture with DT. Or just to shake his hand and tell him they missed him. He’d been gone less than a week.
Demaryius Thomas was uniquely talented on the football field — and truly special in life

Major League Baseball 1903 – 1953
Cities that hosted MLB teams from 1903 to 1953; cities that hosted one team are in red, cities that hosted two teams are in black. New York/Brooklyn, with three teams, is in orange. No major league baseball teams moved or were added between 1903 and 1953.
…The expansion of MLB coincided with an increase in the ease of travel by commercial jets, making it easier for players to fly across the continent. This is important given that when Walter O’Malley moved his Dodgers to Los Angeles, the closest team, other than the San Francisco Giants, was in St. Louis.
The expansion of baseball is also accompanied by the increase in popularity of television. Baseball expanded, in large part, because interest in the sport grew leading up to and during the 1950s and 1960s. In home televisions allowed for this increase in popularity and helped make New York’s pastime, America’s pastime.
