After successfully making it to the Cubs game in the afternoon, I was also going to Soldier Field to watch the Chicago Bears host the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

Pre Game Dining<\/u>
If you are looking for a sports bar close to Michigan Ave., then ESPN Zone is your spot. Located at 43 E. Ohio St., the bar is a 2-block walk from Michigan Ave. It\u2019s also a good place to stop if you are taking the red line between Wrigley Field and either US Cellular Field or Soldier Field. I met Nicole before the game at ESPN Zone. As with any ESPN Zone, there are plenty of televisions to watch any game of your choice.<\/p>\n

Obtaining Tickets<\/u>
I already had my season tickets in hand, but noticed there were a lot of scalpers with extra tickets. As I wrote two weeks ago, preseason NFL games are much cheaper<\/a> to attend than regular season games.<\/p>\n

The Game
<\/u>The 49ers beat the Bears 37-30. Another plus of attending preseason games are watching the quarterback controversies. Earlier this week, Lovie Smith named Kyle Orton the Bears starting quarterback. Orton started last night and performed well.<\/p>\n

J.T. O\u2019Sullivan started for the 49ers and performed better than Alex Smith. 49ers coach Mike Nolan has not named his starting quarterback yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
