As sports leagues work through coronavirus-related issues to resume playing, the Bears are optimistic their upcoming season will look somewhat normal at Soldier Field.
Team president and CEO Ted Phillips said Thursday the organization is planning to have fans in the stadium, though that’s not a certainty and he didn’t give specifics about reducing capacity to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
“We’re still extremely hopeful, confident, that we’re gonna have a season with fans,” he said as part of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s virtual meeting. “It’s only good business practice to look at contingencies, and if we’ve learned anything in the past three months it’s expect the unexpected.
