If you plan on attending a Chicago Bears game this season, you may want to get there a little earlier.
The Bears announced on Tuesday that they will continue to celebrate the 100th season of the franchise by not only celebrating a different decade for each home game but giving out a special bobblehead while doing so. Before each home game, the first 20,000 fans will get a voucher for a bobblehead of a former Bears player to honor that decade.
Per the release:
