I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago in a family of die hard Bears fans. During football season, every sunday was either at home or at relatives sitting in a comfortable living room with pop and hors d'eurves, or fighting the bitter cold and sometimes snow at Soldier Field in downtown Chicago watching the Bears give their sundays best. The highlight was in 1985 when Mike Ditka's Bears, with NFL record breaking running back Walter Payton, won the Super Bowl. That was my first year in College, representing Chicago in another state.
