In addition to the upcoming game, Soldier Field has recently been the site of celebration for the Chicago Bears community. Former Bears stars Steve McMichael, Devin Hester, and Julius Peppers were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2024. This historic announcement was met with widespread praise from local and national media, as well as current and former players.

Steve McMichael, known for his dominance on the field, celebrated his Hall of Fame election with about 50 friends and former teammates at his home. Devin Hester, renowned for his exceptional return skills, shared his reactions to the Hall of Fame announcement, reflecting on his illustrious career.
