Bears moving training camp from Bourbonnais to Halas Hall

The Bears are leaving Bourbonnais after 18 years.

The team announced Wednesday that it will hold training camp at the remodeled Halas Hall beginning this year.

The Bears’ contract to practice at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais had been on a year-to-year basis. The team had scaled back its number of open-to-the-public practices there in recent years.

“We will host training camp practices at Halas Hall in 2020, while maintaining a public component to many of the sessions to incorporate our loyal and passionate fans,” Bears president Ted Phillips said in a statement. “Olivet Nazarene University continues to be a valued and committed partner, but with the recent investment in our campus expansion and state-of-the-art facilities in Lake Forest, we feel it is important to stay home for training camp.
