This week marks the official start of the preseason for the teams in the National Football League. Some of the teams even got the festivities started yesterday, Thursday, August 11. The Chicago Bears, though start their preseason on Saturday by hosting the Buffalo Bills.

Hosting the first game of the season means having the home field, Soldier Field, in tip-top shape. The league has reportedly been in touch with the team to make sure that the field is in good condition after the Bears canceled “Family Fest” practice last week because of poor field conditions. According to ESPN, Soldier Field’s general manager Tim LeFevour, said the team has been in contact with both the league and the Bills. He explained, “And everyone right now understands and knows that the expectation is the field is going to be in good playing condition, as good a playing condition as the field has ever been in at this time of year. It’s going to be fine.”

The Bears are poised to make quite an impact on the league this season. Fans will want to be there to cheer on the team both at home and away. Reserve your Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
