Bears Fans Pissed but Sober


The Bears game being switched to Sunday night has angered a lot of Bears fans. What was going to be a glorious New Year's Eve that started with a Bears win over the Packers is being ruined for a lot of people.

Many don't want to go to the game now since they probably won't get out of Soldier Field until shortly before midnight, and most people don't want to ring in the New Year stuck in traffic.

Then there's the fact that the time change is ruining wedding plans.

But now this. The final straw!!

Bears fans who are unhappy about this Sunday's schedule change to a night game now have one more announcement they might be grumbling about.

As CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports, Solider Field plans to stop selling alcoholic beverages at half-time.

For thousands of fans watching the game at home or at the local tavern, that won't be an issue. But for some others who are actually going to the game, it is definitely a buzzkill.
Have you ever yelled "Happy New Year" sober? We did once. One of the worst experiences of our life. (We tried living clean and sober when we were 12. Thankfully, turning 13 refocused us.)

No, we prefer yelling "Happy New Ye -" while Ron suddenly starts pouring champagne down our throat without warning.

Cuz that's what friends are for, dammit.

Hell, that's what New Year's Eve is for! Getting incredibly drunk and doing stupid things, cuz come morning, everything starts over. It's a beautiful thing.

So we have a feeling there will be a lot of empty seats at Soldier Field on Sunday night.


Just don't sell your tickets to Packer fans, Bear fans. That's all we ask of you.
