George Halas looms over the building that bears his name.

Anyone who walks into the main entrance of Halas Hall must first pass by a statue of the Bears’ Pro Football Hall of Fame founder, player and coach, his arm pointed out as he shouts directions. Players who enter through a hallway off to the side stroll past a light show that displays their retired numbers, including his No. 7. Halas’ fedora — one he wore in many of his 324 career wins —sits on display in the lobby.
