D'Bears

Some opportunities are too fun , too much an adventure, too much an event that they are not to be missed.  Such was Monday night. Blair and I had the opportunity to attend Monday Night Football - where the Chicago Bears hosted theDetroit Lions in Soldiers Field

Sitting in a sky box is pretty cool by itself. One that feels suspended over the playing field is even cooler. The food was plentiful and satisfying.

But clearly the highlight was being on the field prior to the game. Like being court side at a basketball game - the dimension of the truly big men is enhanced being up clodse - they are BIG.

Blair and I also discussed what an ego boost being under the lights, being them focused of unbridled attention - week after week, would really be an ego boost thinking it was all about you.

It was a good night- even for erst while Vikings.

Expressing an interest - does NOT represent a change of heart.
Attending a work function does NOT mean a change of loyalty.
Touring a stadium, eating their food, and a photo op does NOT a fan make.

This week I attended a Chicago Bears Event and Soldier Stadium hosted by FedEx..And, in total candor, it was a very enjoyable vent. We had a tour of their locker room hosted by two alumni of their 85 Superbowl team. They were interesting speakers talking about winning, accountability, and team. They were both articulate and engaging speakers. I must admit from  looking at photos of other locker rooms on TV the bears was nice but in a relative world still spartan. After the tour was dinner, and then talks and photos with Briggs and Olson from the current team. Not quite as engaging but gracious people. It was a fun night. Go Vikings
