The 2017 Chicago Bears Draft Party was held at Soldier Field on April 27th. It happened on the same night as the first round of the NFL Draft which is ideal for the Bears and their fans. With the Bears making the third pick in the draft, you knew that the party would still be going during that pick, barring a possible trade. Well, at least if the Bears traded down anyway. More about that later.
I took my nephew, who doesn’t really watch football, and whose parents are Minnesota Vikings fans, to this event. I didn’t know how he would react or what he would think.
