Chicago Bears - All Time Performance at Home
The Lakefront Legacy: A History of Home Dominance
For the Chicago Bears, home-field advantage has always been about more than just crowd noise; it’s about an atmosphere that physically wears down opponents. From the muddy trenches of Wrigley Field to the windswept columns of Soldier Field, the Bears have cultivated a reputation where the venue itself is the 12th defender.
While the franchise has seen eras of struggle, the aggregate history tells a story of overwhelming success on Chicago soil. Whether it was George Halas patrolling the sidelines in a fedora or the 2025 squad defending the turf in the Wild Card round, the expectation remains the same: nobody comes into our house and leaves without a bruise. Below is a breakdown of the Bears' historical performance at home, from the roaring 20s to the present day.
