Bears Camp Access Limited for Fans

The Bears report for training camp July 25 and begin practices the next day, with the first practice open to the public at Halas Hall on Thursday, July 27.

The team announced its training camp schedule and ticket availability for fans on Friday and only nine practices are available at Halas Hall for the general public. It's the fewest post-pandemic practices they've had open to the general public at Halas Hall since moving training camp back to their home facility from Bourbonnanis starting with the 2020 training camp.

There is also the Sunday, Aug. 6 Meijer Bears Family Fest practice at Soldier Field Aug. 6 at 10:35 a.m. besides the nine practices at Halas Hall.

Part of the reason for fewer public practices than last year is they are taking the show on the road to practice at Indianapolis against the Colts Aug. 16 and 17 prior to the Aug. 19 preseason game at Indianapolis.

All Halas Hall practices begin at 10 a.m. The open practices are July 27, 28, 29, 31, Aug. 1, 4, 8, 9 and 10.

Practices at Halas Hall July 26, Aug. 2, 5 and 14 are closed to the general public but are open for special "community invite day" groups.

Tickets to practices are available at chicagobears.com/camp and are free. Disbursement of camp tickets will begin through chicagobears.com/camp at 10 a.m. on July 6. All tickets are distributed as mobile tickets and fans are limited to only four per practice.

Information on tickets for the Aug. 6 family day practice at Soldier Field will be put out at a later date. There is a charge for those tickets.

There is no parking at Halas Hall for fans. Parking is at Hawthorn Mall in Vernon Hills and transportation is provided for fans via shuttle.
