Bears Over London: A Windy City Invasion
Chicago Bears: Trading Ditka for the Queen
Can you believe it? The Chicago Bears, the pride of the Windy City, are swapping deep dishes for fish and chips. That's right, our beloved gridiron heroes are jetting across the pond to grace the hallowed turf of London. We’re going from Soldier Field to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Talk about a culture shock!
When’s the Big Day?
So, when exactly are these fearless football warriors making their British debut? Mark your calendars for October 13, 2024. That’s when the Bears will be taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. For those of you who are terrible at math, that's Week 6 of the NFL season.
Why London, You Ask?
You might be wondering, "Why on earth would the Bears go all the way to London to play a football game?" Well, the NFL is trying to grow its fanbase overseas, and what better way to do it than by sending over some of the league's most iconic teams? Plus, it's a great excuse for American fans to visit London (or for British fans to come visit Chicago after the game - we promise it's not always cold!).
Will They Actually Win?
Now, let's talk about the real question on everyone's mind: Will the Bears actually win this game? Well, anything can happen in football, right? But let's be honest, the Bears have had their fair share of ups and downs. So, while we're all rooting for our boys in blue, let's manage our expectations. Maybe we can just enjoy the spectacle of American football being played in a soccer stadium.
