Description

With a few exceptions, there is little else that is more important to a football fan in the Windy City than the Chicago Bears. Since Soldier Field opened in 1924, through the stadiums renovation in 2003, the Bears faithful have braved frigid temperatures on the shores of Lake Michigan to cheer on their favorite team.
Chicago Bears: Where Have You Gone takes an informative stroll down memory lane and includes many of the players who have made being a Bears fan so much fun in Illinois and beyond. From Gale Sayers to Matt Suhey, Rich Pettibone to Kevin Butler, Tom Waddle to Keith Van Horne, Gary Fencik to Willie Gault, the book looks not only at the playing careers of many former Bears, but also their lives after their playing days ended.
In Chicago Bears: Where Have You Gone Lew Freedman takes a present-day look at these Chicago Bears of yesteryear, helping fans who are wondering where the time has gone.
