The Chicago Bears will be on the road tonight, practicing at Vernon Hills High School as a part of their “Varsity Bears” outreach program. With the Chicago Bears on Vernon Hills’ Rust-Oleum Field, the Vernon Hills Cougars’ high school football team will get to practice at Halas Hall’s Walter Payton Center.
I think that’s a fair trade off for the kids on their football team.
The event has been sold out for a while now, and they are expecting about 5,000 people for the 6:00 p.m. practice. Gates open at 4 p.m. and when practice ends, about 8:50 p.
