Bear market for tickets to team’s frigid game on Saturday, among coldest in Soldier Field history

A worker spreads salt as snow and ice are caked on the seats at Soldier Field before a November 2015 game. Temperatures are forecast to top out at 10 for Saturday’s game, after a snowstorm sweeps Chicago.

That dome is sounding better by the day for some Bears fans.

An enclosed suburban stadium might be in the playbook for the team years from now, but it’ll merely be a toasty fantasy for the shivering crowds that pack into a frigid Soldier Field this weekend after the season’s first major snowstorm barrels through Chicago.

That’s got many fans calling an audible this week, as ticket prices have plummeted for the Bears’ matchup on Saturday versus the Buffalo Bills — a contest that could end up among the coldest games ever played on the lakefront.
