Monsters of the... AC? The Bears' Surprising Indoor Record

Why the "Monsters of the Midway" Secretly Love a Climate-Controlled Dome

Bears fans pride themselves on being "tough." We sit in -10 degree weather and call it a "fresh breeze." But here’s the dirty little secret: statistically, our modern teams actually play better when there’s a roof and a thermostat.

Since 2018, the Bears are 14-9 in dome stadiums. Whether it's the fast track in Detroit or the luxury of Minnesota's glass palace, the turf allows our playmakers (looking at you, DJ Moore) to actually run routes without slipping on a patch of frozen Soldier Field sod.

Indoor vs. Outdoor (Since 2022)

• Indoors (Domes): 61% Win Rate
• Outdoors (The Elements): 46% Win Rate

The Takeaway: We can talk about "Bear Weather" all we want, but our win percentage says we might actually be "Luxury Suite Bears."
