What better way to experience a Chicago Bears road game than hanging out with your favorite content creators from WCG?
Windy City Gridiron is excited to announce an exclusive, gold star opportunity to anyone that will pay our loyal readers with not one, not two, but three travel opportunities this season. The WCG package offers an experience unlike our competitors who merely want you to foot the bill for them to travel. No, we want you to truly experience the away city as only a Bears fan can.
Game #1 – Cincinnati, November 2 – The George Halas Theme
The competition wants you to go to Sin City with the fake glitz and glamour in the middle of a desert. But why give all your money to rich casinos in Vegas when you can line our pockets for showing you around Cin City dressed in 1920’s era garb?
November marks 100 years since the famous Red Grange Barnstorming tour. Everyone will be required to dress up as their favorite person from the 1920’s (dibs on Al Capone). We’ll travel by train, like Halas’s crew did across the country a century ago, eating ham sandwiches and drinking Bee’s Knees the whole way.
The night before the game we reserved a party room at a downtown, high-end Cincinnati restaurant called The Skyline. There we will all eat a traditional 1925 meal of spaghetti smothered in chili topped with diced onions, beans, and shredded cheese. Afterwards, we’ll take in the air with a walk to the river where we’ll cross into Kentucky pretending like we’re bootleggers from Prohibition, procuring rare bottles of bourbon that will be donated to my personal collection for safekeeping.
Cost: $395*
*1925 dollars. You’ll be charged the inflated price at checkout.
Game #2 – Philly, November 28 – The Rocky Package
What better way to announce to the NFL the arrival of the Bears than taking out the defending champs on the road in late November? Travel in style on an old Greyhound bus to bond with fellow Bears fans on a quick 12 hour drive. Bus leaves early! (Note that the WCG crew will have already arrived in Philly through different travel plans in preparation for your arrival.)
After stepping foot off the bus, we’ll begin our activity for the night – a Philly Cheesesteak crawl through the City of Brotherly Love. We’ll hit up all the big touristy shops like Geno’s and Pat’s – and then we’ll go to actual good places like Jim’s and Dalessandro’s. (We’ll say we went to Donkey’s because people talk about it but that’s in NJ and we are not going to New Jersey.)
At each establishment, you’ll be required to hem and haw when putting in your order in the busy line full of hungry Philadelphians. You’ll then request at least one menu item that doesn’t exist and feign disbelief that they don’t have giardiniera. Then, after taking a bite or two, you’ll need to say in a loud voice “eh…not nearly as good as Italian beef.”
After the cheesesteak crawl, we’ll head to the Rocky statue where, on a belly full of grease, everyone will be required to run the steps until they vomit or have a heart attack. This will allow the travel group to truly blend in with the Philly faithful as we make our way to the stadium, smelling of partially digested cheese-whiz.
Cost: $312/hour*
*Does not cover medical bills or legal fees
Game #3 – San Francisco, December 28 – Gold Deluxe Virtual Package
Join us (virtually) as the WCG team flies by private jet from Chicago to San Francisco. You’ll be given a password protected link to follow along with the trip via a GoPro strapped to Sam’s head. Follow along as the crew eats caviar and drinks champagne in celebration of a great year of content creation supported by you, the Deluxe Opulent Plush Extravagant level fan.
A stretch limo will take the crew around SF to scout defensive tackle prospects at Fisherman’s Wharf, hop the cable cars, and search for the Full House house. The crew will then ditch the stretch for a power yacht ride on San Francisco Bay to the game where we will be escorted to our luxury suite. How exciting for you to follow along at home!
A week after the game, a limited edition thumb drive will arrive in the mail, individually numbered and signed by one random member of the WCG staff. The thumb drive will contain a personalized thank you from the crew with a lightly edited version of the livestream plus Lester’s famous chili recipe. A highly collectable gift that will be the envy of every Chicago Bears fan.
As they say, “if you can’t live it yourself, live vicariously” with the Gold Deluxe Virtual Package.
Cost: 4.9 ounces of gold bullion
*Note that travel expenses, lodging, and game tickets are not included in the cost of any package. You’ll be charged a deposit to cover any incidentals incurred that will not be refunded for…reasons.
Let us know which game(s) you’ll be signing up for in the comments and what other themed ideas you have for the future.
