Green Bay might be called the Frozen Tundra but Soldier Field is no paradise in the winter.

Experiencing Winter Weather At Soldier Field

My family has been Chicago Bears season ticket holders for years. I've sat through many games in terrible weather. Especially, at the end of the season. Those winter months can get brutal with the wind off of Lake Michigan. Brett Favre from the Packers has even complained about it and he played at Lambeau Field. I've even been at some of the coldest games in the team's history.

Will This Week's Game Join Chicago Bears History?

The Bears play this Saturday (on Christmas Eve) at Soldier Field versus the Bills. The weather forecast is not looking good with cold, ice, snow, and wind. The prediction is temperatures with the wind chill below zero. This game could be added to the list of coldest in team history. Unfortunately, there's no Bear Weather advantage because Buffalo experiences the same type of environment.
