The Bears won’t raise season ticket prices in 2021, even if they end up hosting a ninth regular-season home game, Bears president/CEO Ted Phillips said in a letter to season ticket holders on Monday.
The NFL is expected to expand to 17 regular-season games this year. Players agreed to the change in last year’s Collective Bargaining Agreement and the league figures to expand its schedule when negotiating its new media package in the coming months. Half the teams would host nine games per season, the other half eight. The preseason schedule could shrink to two games, with each team playing one at home and one on the road.
