The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team
based in Chicago. The Bears compete in the National Football
League (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football
Conference (NFC) North Division. The Bears have won nine NFL
Championships, including one Super Bowl (XX in 1986), and hold
the NFL record for the most enshrinees in the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers. The Bears have also
recorded the second-most victories of any NFL franchise, only
behind the Green Bay Packers, who they have a long-standing
rivalry with.
The franchise was founded in Decatur, Illinois, on September 20,
1919, became professional on September 17, 1920, and moved to
Chicago in 1921. It is one of only two remaining franchises from
the NFL's founding in 1920, along with the Arizona Cardinals,
which was originally also in Chicago. The team played home games
at Wrigley Field on Chicago's North Side through the 1970
season; they now play at Soldier Field on the Near South Side,
adjacent to Lake Michigan.
The team headquarters, Halas Hall, is in the Chicago suburb of
Lake Forest, Illinois. The Bears practice at adjoining
facilities there during the season, and began hosting training
camp at Halas Hall in 2020 after major renovations.
