It was a bad NFL game to attend (with the Bears at 4-7 and the Rams at 1-10) but since we already had our season tickets we were planning to attend. At first, we were planning to meet Hawkeyes Bryon and Julie at a bar before the game. However, that was before my friend, Mike Holzman, hooked up the parking pass late in the week in the Waldron Deck \u2013 the parking lot directly south of Soldier Field. Thus, the Ultimate Sports Wife and I put together our own tailgate for the Bears game yesterday.<\/p>\n
Tailgate
<\/u>We arrived at the parking lot at 9:00 am. On the Ultimate Sports Wife\u2019s menu was taco dip, barbeque meatballs and burgers from Whole Foods.<\/p>\n
As I have written before, the best location to buy tickets on the secondary market is at the tailgate. On a rare occurrence for a Bears game, scalpers were walking the parking lot with extra tickets. Since the Bears were playing the Rams tickets were available.<\/p>\n
The Game
<\/u>The Bears defeated the Rams 17-9 for their first win after four consecutive losses. Steven Jackson rushed for 112 yards to give him seven 100-plus yard rushing games for the season.<\/p>\n
This was the third time I have seen the Rams play at Soldier Field. The first time was a Bears victory on December 8, 1996<\/a> and the second, the Rams won on November 16, 2003<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a bad NFL game to attend (with the Bears at 4-7 and the Rams at 1-10) but since we already had our season tickets we were planning to attend.
