Chicago Bears Training Camp - July 30th through August 19, 2010
The Chicago Bears Training Camp takes place on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University. It is typically three weeks long and fans have a wonderful opportunity to see the team FREE of charge! Fans can watch practice, receive autographs from players, visit the inflatable game kids area, get coached in football clinics, see live radio remote broadcasts, participate in kids only autograph sessions (on select days), purchase Bears sideline gear from the official team pro shop, and much more. This family friendly daily event is geared towards Bear fans of all ages.
With the exception of concessions, everything is still free to the public — free admission and free parking. Only note that to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, alcohol and smoking are not permitted on the campus.
