On Monday the Chicago Bears announced that there will be no fans at Soldier Field during the 2020 season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Here’s the full statement from the Bears.
“The Chicago Bears, Soldier Field’s management partner, ASM Global, the Chicago Park District and public health officials have worked together to assess whether a responsible plan that follows City, State, CDC and NFL guidelines could be developed to safely accommodate a limited number of fans at Soldier Field this season. After discussing a draft plan with City health officials, the Bears and the City of Chicago agreed the health metrics show that it is not the right time to welcome fans back to Soldier Field.
