Regular season
The Bears hosted their first home game of the season at Northwestern's Dyche Stadium as an experiment; the NFL had demanded that the Bears move out of Wrigley Field because Wrigley's seating capacity was under 50,000. After Evanston residents petitioned city officials to block the team from moving there permanently, the Bears moved to Chicago's Soldier Field the following year.
