Soldier Field will be at full capacity this season — and vaccinated fans won’t have to wear masks. Fans who are not vaccinated will be “encouraged” to wear masks.
The Bears made both expected developments official in a letter to season ticket-holders on Wednesday. In the letter, president/CEO Ted Phillips said Soldier Field will have hand sanitizer available and conduct deep cleaning and disinfecting of often-touched areas. Tailgating will return to parking lots.
The Bears also said that they’ll allow a very limited number of fans at training camp, which starts July 27 at Halas Hall. The Bears will give further information about how to get free tickets later this month.
The Bears will also hold their “Family Fest” practice on Aug. 3 at Soldier Field, as they did in the years before the pandemic.
A full Soldier Field was expected after Major League Baseball teams in Chicago did the same.
