Are you looking to attend Chicago Bears training camp this offseason? Well, the Bears released their training camp schedule a couple of weeks ago and if you want to attend one of the public practices, you will need to try and get tickets. Unlike last year, this year’s tickets will not be handled via a lottery. Instead, they will be going on “sale” on Thursday, July 7, 2022. I say “sale” because the tickets are still free to attend. They will just be first come, first served.
According to the Chicago Bears‘ site, a limited number of tickets will be made available for all 11 public practices on July 7 at 10:00 am CST. The tickets will only be sold through Ticketmaster and fans are limited to four tickets per event date.

- July 28 – Gates open at 9:00 am; practice is from 10:00 am until 11:34 am

- August 20 – Gates open at 9:00 am; practice is from 10:00 am until 11:30 am
As you can see, the gates for Halas Hall will open at 9:00 am each day and practice will always start at 10:00 am. However, the end times are slightly different each day and maybe that will play a part in which days you try to get tickets. My suggestion would be if you can make a weekday work, the chances of obtaining those tickets are likely higher than aiming for one of the weekend dates.

Note that if you do obtain and plan to attend training camp, parking will not be available for fans at Halas Hall, within Conway Park or at neighboring businesses. However, free fan parking will be available at the Hawthorn Mall and shuttles will be available to take fans to and from the practice facility. Ride-share or guest drop-off is also not permitted. With only an hour between the time gates open and practice starting, I suggest you arrive early to guarantee you don’t miss any of the practice time.
