LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Secluded deep in the heart of Green Bay Packers territory, it’s probably the last place in the country that you’d expect to find a bar filled with avid Bears fans.

Bears fans cheer on their team during a recent game at Chetek Lanes in northwest Wisconsin.

But that’s exactly what you’ll discover at Chetek Lanes, a bowling alley located in northwest Wisconsin. Dozens of Bears fans flock to the establishment to watch their favorite team. Many are transplanted Chicagoans and some are tourists, but they all share the same passion.

“Bears fans are good people and we love to have them,” said owner John Law, whose parents are both Chicago natives. “It’s a good time. The fans are pretty rabid. They do a lot of screaming.”

There no doubt will be a lot of screaming Monday night when the Bears host the Packers.

The bowling alley is located in Chetek, Wis., a town of just over 2,000 residents that’s located north of Eau Claire, Wis., and about 350 miles from Chicago.

Law converts a pool room in the back of the bar into a Bears den on game day. He gives away Bears memorabilia at halftime and awards free Jell-O shots for every Bears score.

Law displays a Brian Urlacher jersey and a few other Bears items but concedes “they’re usually hidden away until game time.”

About 40-50 fans usually show up at Chetek Lanes to watch the Bears. Asked if there have ever been any problems between Bears and Packers fans, Law said: “There have been some slight instances, but they have fun with it.”
