LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The 2010 Ultimate Bears Weekend was a huge success as fans flocked to Soldier Field for the Miller Lite Draft Party last Friday and the Bears Expo on Saturday.
Admission to the draft party included a three-hour all-you-can-eat buffet and two beverages; a chance to see current and former Bears players and receive exclusive giveaways; locker room tours; and the opportunity to watch the draft and get behind-the-scenes analysis and updates from Halas Hall.
The third annual Bears Expo featured autograph sessions, locker room tours, kids’ activities and seminars featuring current and former players and front-office personnel.
Bears fan Jim Cusick of Columbus, Ohio, received tickets to the Ultimate Bears Weekend as a birthday present from his girlfriend.
“We were here for the Draft party, and between the locker room tours, field goal kicking and autographs at the Expo, the Ultimate Bears Weekend was an amazing birthday present and an awesome weekend,” he said.
More than 40 current and former players attended the Ultimate Bears Weekend, including quarterback Jay Cutler, middle linebacker Brian Urlacher and defensive end Julius Peppers.
“This was my first experience at Soldier Field, so just seeing the stadium was enough,” said Erik Mordon of Oregon, Ill. “When you combine the chance to meet players that I’m watching on the field, this was the greatest weekend of my life.”
Bill Cummins of Crest Hill, Ill., called the Ultimate Bears Weekend “the best opportunity to meet and greet players of all generations who are friendly and approachable.”
