NFL Kickoff Experience

In celebration of the Chicago's Bears' 100th season (and Thursday's Bears vs. Packers game at Soldier Field), the NFL Kickoff Experience heads to Grant Park for a free festival, complete with football activities, merch and a live concert. Taking place around Buckingham Fountain, attendees will be able to attempt a field goal kick, throw hail mary passes and try on authentic NFL equipment. Plus, former Bears players will be signing autographs, a handful of Chicago restaurants will be cooking tailgating grub and an NFL Museum will have all 53 Super Bowl rings on display. Stick around for the Inspire Chance concert, featuring sets from Meek Mill, Meghan Trainor and Rapsody. The entrance for the event will be located at Michigan Avenue and Ida B Wells Drive and the festivities will end once the game at Soldier Field is over.
