The Bear’s Den, July 9, 2025

July 9, 2025 by Windy City Gridiron


It’s a homegrown Den today as we start showcasing some of our members photos and memories.

WE WANT YOU!

Would you like to show your Chicago Bears spirit to the world? I’m starting a feature where Windy City Gridiron readers can share pictures of themselves and their families and friends in Bears attire. Simply email a picture to me at the following address: denmasterken at aol dot com. The pictures need to be clear, and full resolution (i.e. full size from your phone if that’s how you take them). Include any description information you like along with the photo!
