2008 Chicago Bears Expo - Photos

Today I attended the 2008 Expo at Solider Field. 

Star-divide

After attending the previous Chicago Bear's Fan Fest in the past at the Chicago Hilton the Bears Expo at Solider Field was a huge upgrade!  The event included scratch off tickets for a number of Bear's greats to autograph one item.  The lines moved very smooth and everyone seemed to get who and what they wanted.  The autograph ticketed lines took you into the vistors locker rooms.  Then random lines without tickets were for lesson know/rookie type players.  The organizers were very good at assuring that only the correct number of people entered the line before they were cut. 

Other events included a kids zone, pictures on the field, kicking a field goal, pro shop, vendors, locker room tours, break out sessions. 

I am sure there was more, but I'm forgetting them now...

Here are some pictures from the day...

I wish I would have gone. Did the weather do anything at the time?
