Training Camp takes place in Bourbonnais, IL and is usually during the last week in July through the middle of August (dates have not yet been set). Bourbonnais is only 50-miles south of Chicago. Camp is FREE and open to the public on nearly everyday (there are a few days that have admission fees). Training Camp is your best chance to see the team practice and get up close and personal with the players and coaches. There are excellent site lines of the practice fields and there are many activities for kids.

Only one owner may hold a PSL for a given PSL seat at any given time. PSL owners have the right to transfer a PSL by gift, bequest or otherwise, subject to restrictions stated in the PSL Agreement and the following guidelines established by the Bears. Once you transfer a PSL, you no longer have any rights associated with that seat. A PSL may not be transferred more than once per year, except in the case of the death of the PSL owner. Transfers are effective when the transferee has assumed all obligations under the PSL and the transfer has been recorded in the PSL records.
PSL transfers are subject to a $100 per-new account fee.
PSL transfers are accepted each offseason from February 1 - July 1. The PSL Transfer Information (PDF) link will be made available after Feb. 1 on ChicagoBears.com > Tickets & Stadium > Season Ticket Holder News. Click here for a list of other important dates for Season Ticket Holders.
Please contact the Bears Ticket Office at (847) 615-BEAR (2327) for more information.
