“Watch your favorite Bears players practice at Halas Hall in Lake Forest with photo & autograph opportunities throughout Camp,” the team said. “There will also be games, activities, virtual reality, and appearances by Staley Da Bear, Monster Squad and the Chicago Bears Drumline.”

There are several more activities available for fans beyond watching the team practice at training camp. Every day, a handful of kids aged 6-12 will be selected to help carry a player’s pads off the practice field. A separate drawing will take place for kids of the same age to hand out Gatorade and towels to the players as they wrap practice, the team said.
According to officials, tickets are first come, first served. Parking for free practice days will be held at Hawthorn Townline Road in Vernon Hills, with shuttle buses running regularly.
The Bears, with new rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, kick off their regular season at Soldier Field against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8.
