Based in Chicago, Illinois, the Chicago Bears are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League.
The franchise was first established in 1919 in Decatur, Illinois, but moved to Chicago shortly thereafter, in 1921. The Bears played their home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago’s North Side until 1970; from 1971 onwards, their home field has been Chicago’s Soldier Field.
The Bears franchise boasts more regular seasons and more victories than any other NFL club. A game in December 2008 marked the team’s 700th win. Chicago has also won 4 conference titles, 17 division championships, 8 NFL championships, and 1 Super Bowl title, in 1985.
The team managed a winning season in 2008, with a regular season record of 9-7 that left it in 9th place in the NFC, but without an option of qualifying for the playoffs.
However, the Bears’ April 2009 acquisition of quarterback Jay Cutler, and their fifth round selection of Kyle Orton during the NFL Draft, may improve the team’s prospects in 2009.
