The Bears announced Tuesday that training camp will return to Halas Hall in 2020 and for the foreseeable future, a move that was expected after the recent renovations and massive investment made in the facility. It's a logical decision by the team, but it also marks the end of an 18-year run of training camp practices in Bourbonnais.
Training camp can be a special experience for football fans. In some cases, it's the first exposure to live football for children. In other cases, it's the closest a fan will get to their favorite player. It's an even more personal experience when training camp takes place in an intimate setting like Bourbonnais.
