The Bears made a change to their training camp this year as they "did not schedule a Family Fest at Soldier Field,” according to Coleen Kane of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The Bears held the Family Fest practice in front of fans on their home turf for the last three years. But coach Matt Eberflus said that the timing “didn’t work out this year for the Bears.” Kane noted the team has an extra preseason game because of their participation in the Pro Football HOF Game on Aug. 1 in Canton. Soldier Field also has soccer matches and two concerts scheduled over the next month-plus. Eberflus said, “I wish we had it. I love that experience because it’s great for the players to be able to get in there and do that” (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 7/20).
