Dave Wannstedt joins Football Night in Chicago to talk about the Bears’ options at defensive end
Bears fans will soon get the chance to reserve free tickets to watch Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze and the new-look offense practice at training camp this summer. On Tuesday at 10 a.m., the team will release tickets for nine practices that will be open to the public.
Here are the dates for all nine of those practices:
Friday, July 26
Saturday, July 27
Tuesday, July 30
Sunday, Aug. 3
Tuesday, Aug. 6
Wednesday, Aug. 7
Tuesday, Aug. 13
Wednesday, Aug. 14
Thursday, Aug. 15
Tickets will be available exclusively on Ticketmaster.
There are several more activities available for fans beyond watching the team practice at training camp. Every day, a handful of kids aged 6-12 will be selected to help carry a player’s pads off the practice field. A separate drawing will take place for kids of the same age to hand out Gatorade and towels to the players as they wrap practice. In addition, there’s an obstacle course and a crafts area with appearances from Staley Da Bear for kids to enjoy. Players will be made available for autographs after each day of practice, too.
Training camp is where the Bears will do the bulk of their work to get in shape for Week 1, both mentally and physically. The team will ramp up from practicing in shorts and tee shirts, to shells and finally full pads. This is also the first time that the team will be allowed to practice with “live” tackling– if head coach Matt Eberflus chooses.
The Bears kick off their regular season at Soldier Field against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8.
