The atmosphere at Halas Hall was always going to be different than it was when the Chicago Bears held training camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois. In Bourbonnais there was no limit to the number of fans they allowed to watch the team practice — it is a college campus with plenty of room — but their facilities in Lake Forest, while state-of-the-art for the team and players, simply can’t accommodate the same volume of spectators. The reported plan was to allow about a thousand fans through the gates for each practice, but that hasn’t been happening.
