The Bears have kept training camp almost entirely at Halas Hall the past several years, but they’re branching out with a new idea next month.
The team announced Wednesday it will hold an open practice at nearby Stevenson High School on Aug. 10, the week leading up to their preseason opener at home against the Browns.
The Bears don’t have a practice scheduled at Soldier Field, though it’s still possible they’ll add one.
Other than their joint practices with the Bengals and Titans on the road, this is the only practice away from Halas Hall. The team is holding 10 open practices at its headquarters, though all tickets have been claimed.
The practice at Stevenson, which is being called Varsity Bears at starts at 11 a.m., is free, but requires a ticket due to space constraints. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster on Thursday at 10 a.m.
The practice is a walk-through, meaning it’ll be lighter and shorter than a regular one.
