The NFL is celebrating its 100th season and so are the Chicago Bears https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Anthony-Miller-Jersey , charter members of the league who have been there since they were called the Decatur Staleys, the league was called the American Professional Football Association, and George Halas was a player and the head coach. As part of that celebration, the Bears will recognize each of their 10 decades of teams at a home game this year.Taking center stage, being honored when the Bears play the Packers in the first game of the season on Thursday, September, 5 Sherrick McManis Color Rush Jersey , will be the 1980s Bears.Making the 1980s Bears the highlight was a no-brainer, as the 1985 Bears were the only Bears team to win the Super Bowl and remain the most beloved team in franchise history. There’s no word yet on which members of that team will attend, but players like Mike Ditka, Jim McMahon and Refrigerator Perry are still Chicago icons, and the late Walter Payton will always have a special place in Bears fans’ hearts.The celebration will get started with the 1920s Bears in the preseason opener, and then the 1950s Bears in the second home preseason game. No one is left from the 1920s team, and the Bears never won a championship in the 1950s Charles Leno Jersey , so those teams were chosen for the low-profile preseason games.The 1930s Bears will be honored in Week Four, 1970s in Week Seven, 2000s in Week Eight, 1940s in Week 10, 1960s in Week 12, 1990s in Week 14 and 2010s in Week 16. The Bears took the unusual step of having kicker Cody Parkey practice at Soldier Field, instead of at their practice facility.Then they took the unusual step of banning local television stations from airing the footage of that practice https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Joel-Iyiegbuniwe-Jersey , when local news stations sent helicopters to film the practice in the publicly owned building.Taking so many unusual steps can be time-consuming, unless you have a police escort.According to Brad Biggs of the , the Bears specialists were able to get from their facility in Lake Forest to Soldier Field more quickly with the help of local law enforcement.NFL teams typically get an assist getting through traffic when their buses are moving from hotels or airports to games. But calling in the cops to breeze through traffic would be unusual for a much smaller contingent, making the 40-mile trip from their suburban facility to their stadium.“It is standard procedure for us to hire a private police escort for occasional team practices off-site, for example our annual Varsity Bears practice, or for team travel to and from the airport for away games,” Bears spokesman Brandon Faber told the .State police didn’t comment on how often they were escorting the Bears Nick Kwiatkoski Color Rush Jersey , though they require teams to pay $110 per officer per hour, and $40 per vehicle for fuel and maintenance.“The main purpose of an escort is to provide safety and security for all those involved in the motorcade as well as for the motoring public,” state police Sgt. Jacqueline Cepeda said. “Professional sports teams traveling in identifiable groups pose a target risk for criminal activity. Additionally, the movement of groups of multiple large vehicles (such as team buses and equipment trucks) pose a greater traffic hazard without proper traffic controls.”“All officers working escort details are outside their regular scheduled shifts and are earning overtime.”The Bears clearly value Parkey, as they hung onto him after the early misses that led to the special treatment. Although it’s a bit odd that they’d need an escort for a traveling party that ought to be able to get where they’re going in one vehicle.
