Chicago Bears:
The Chicago Bears were originally called the Decatur Staleys. The
Staleys were sponsored by the Staley Starch Company and founded by
George Halas, one of the founders of pro football. The Decatur Staleys
became the Chicago Staleys in 1921 and called Wrigley Field their home.
The team goes on to win their first title that year, the APFA title with
an overall record of 9-1-1. In January of 1922 the franchise is renamed
the Chicago Bears. The Bears were one of the most successful teams and
participated in unprecedented acts. They were the first team to buy a
player from another franchise and also the first to play an indoor game.
The Bears earned 1 Super Bowl Title, 19 Division Titles and 8 NFL
Titles.
George Halas held the reigns as head coach for nearly 40 years (except
during wartime when he served in the U.S. Navy) retiring before the 1968
season. He was also known to serve in many other capacities for the
franchise such as, player, general manager, and owner.
The Bears played at Wrigley Field (home of baseballs Chicago Cubs) for
their first 51 seasons. In December of 1970 the Bears played the Green
Bay Packers in their final game at Wrigley Field before moving to
Soldier Field. The Bears hold the record for the most games played in
the home stadium in NFL history with an impressive 332 games played at
Wrigley Field. Soldier Field was originally constructed as a memorial to
America’s soldiers and originally named Municipal Grant Park Stadium. It
was renamed Soldier Field and properly dedicated on November 11th, 1925.
Soldier Field has a seating capacity of 66, 950.
