Bears coach Matt Eberflus is entering his second season.

More than 15,000 fans — 15,106, to be exact — braved an early morning drizzle and the threat of a Lollapalooza traffic snarl on the drive home to attend “Family Fest” at Soldier Field on Sunday.

The Bears’ practice began at 10:30 a.m., or one hour and 15 minutes before the first band took the stage of the last day of the festival at Grant Park. Fans filled the lower section surrounding the football field and about half of the upper sections in the end zone of Soldier Field.
