Bears vs Packers

Photo Essay: A day at the game

On November 17, 2024, the Chicago Bears hosted the Green Bay Packers. This historic rivalry is a football classic, and I was fortunate enough to go to the game.

Not every game ends the way you hoped it would. And that’s okay. I enjoyed being there and the energy of the crowd.

The rivalry lives on…
