First time @ the stadium. Had a good time.

The stadium was nothing to write home about, but it was a good atmosphere for a team that is going nowhere fast. There were a TON of Bears fans, all whom where very nice. And for a Sunday in Northeast, you couldn't ask for better weather. It was misting heading into the stadium, but the rain pretty much stopped by kickoff & the temps were in the high 50s. Wiped off the seats & all was good.

One thing that did piss me off: ending beer sales at halftime. WTF is up with that? I've been to a few Panthers game & they keep serving until the end of the 3rd. Weak job guys. Weak. And, by where we were seated, the beer selections were, to be nice, subpar. Harpoon IPA it was.

Getting out of there was a mess. We tried to get an Uber from the Uber lot, but that was a mess so we ended up going to this Redds place to watch some of the Vikes-Pats before getting an Uber there to head back.

Anyways, it was a good time. Nice to see a win & a fun way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.
Glad you had a good time

and found the Bears fans to be cool. Here in Central Florida I found a solid stream on reddit that wasn't HD but was reliable which is more important to me.

Especially for a 3-8 team.
It was my first time as well!

We had some obnoxious Bears fans near us, but it was a great day even with some rain. Took the train in and out, really easy to navigate. I’ll definitley be back.
Glad you had a good time!

A win always makes it a good day. Not surprised at the number of Bears fans. They're good this year, and the weather was supposed to be much worse than it was.

Yeah, the beer sales thing stinks. Bunch of idiots who can't hold their liquor ruining it for everyone.
Thank the Jets for the beer sales

as well as a lawsuit filed against the stadium years ago after an unfortunate and sad DUI crash.
The beer sale

rules are insane. We had club tickets once and they wouldn't let us in one of the "bars" at the beginning of halftime. We had four adults about to spend $10-15 per person on drinks.
The beer sales cutoff dates back to the time in the 80s

I think it was when some guy drove hone from the old Giants stadium drunk and killed someone. The team and the outfit that runs concessions got sued out the wazoo if memory serves
Beer sales were a direct result of the Jets

fans lighting trash cans on fire on a cold day. The lawsuits from drunken accidents came later but were the icing on the cake. NJ is an extremely litigious state.

Ah copy that...makes sense.
Glad to hear

The Giants fans were into it. Too bad shepherd didn’t catch that pass in the end zone in OT. I think the crowd really would have went berserk, although you sounded excited when Jackrabbit knocked that pass away on 4th down.
I'm curious

what was the % of Bears fans?
I wonder if they were mostly local or traveling from Chicago.
