The Bears’ newest Halas Hall expansion is an apt illustration of just how far the franchise has come under McCaskey ownership — one of the last NFL teams to join the 20th century in terms of facilities is now leading the way in the 21st.
An impressive 162,500-square-foot expansion of football operations facilities is in some cases beyond state-of-the-art. The Bears have increased the size of their locker room, weight room, draft room, cafeteria and sports medicine facilities. They’ve added added amenities like a barber shop, a sauna and steam room. And they’ve also included the latest technological advancements in virtually every area — from the draft room to sports medicine to a new mini-indoor practice facility.
