Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears
I was suppose to have the weekend off, but after a phone call asking to see if I could possibly go to Minnesota to shoot the Vikings vs. Bengals. I quickly researched some flights and they were $600 round trip which is crazy not sure why. But our Chicago shooter head to Minnesota and I took his place in Chicago covering the game.
Chicago is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Toledo, its an extremely easy drive just stopping and paying the tolls is a pain in the butt. I got to the stadium 3 hour prior to the game. When I have never been to a stadium before, I don’t like to feel rushed and I walk around a little bit to get a feel for things. Best way to get from the field to the media room and where the restrooms are and what not.
I headed out to the field and the Packers players were just starting to head to the field to get warmed up.

Charles Woodson was heading back into the locker room while the rest of the players were coming out for some reason. I guess when you are the only defensive player ever to win the Heisman Trophy you can do what ever you want!

Aaron Rodgers makes his way onto the field.

I was looking for some kind of feature photo from the Bears and I was shooting the defensive lineman warming up and Alex Brown ran right towards me and I kept shoot and got a nice white sky which made for a cool photo.

Both teams headed back into the locker room to get ready for player introduction.
For the Bears player intros they have smoke and fireworks and run out of a giant bear. Quarterback Jay Cutler runs out with a Bears flag.

As I am writing this it is 1:58 am on December 18th and I am running out of creative ideas to finish writing the blog so I am going to just post the photos. If you have any questions about the photos please leave a comment or send me an email aweber2@me.com.
That wraps up another NFL game for me. This weekend I will be covering the Arizona Cardinals at Detroit Lions.
Here are some clips from around the internet.
