Bears Over London: A Windy City Invasion
So, You Wanna See the Bears in London?
Let’s talk turkey, or rather, football. The Chicago Bears are taking their gridiron glory across the pond in 2024! That's right, folks, you can swap your deep-dish pizza for fish and chips while watching the Bears claw their way to victory (or maybe a loss, we’ve all been there).
When Exactly Are These Bears Touching Down in London?
The Bears are set to face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, October 13th, 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That's 8:30 AM Chicago time, so you might want to stock up on coffee and donuts for that early gameday kickoff.
Why London? Because Football is a Global Game, Duh!
The NFL has been steadily expanding its reach overseas, and London has become a prime destination for American football fans. With its passionate fanbase and state-of-the-art stadiums, it's no wonder the league keeps coming back for more. Plus, imagine the cultural exchange! Bears fans in their classic navy and orange jerseys mingling with Londoners in their finest football attire? It's a match made in heaven (or at least, a very entertaining one).
What to Expect: A Taste of Chicago in the Heart of London
While you might not find deep-dish pizza on every corner, you can bet there will be plenty of American-style food and drinks to satisfy your cravings. And don’t worry, the Bears will bring their signature Windy City energy with them. Expect plenty of cheering, chanting, and maybe even a few Da Bears! chants echoing through the stadium.
