After a very successful 2025 season, the Chicago Bears have left their city and fanbase eager for more success, potentially going further than the NFC divisional playoff round that they were eliminated from last year.
Well, last year the Bears captivated the league by storm with their seven fourth-quarter comebacks. This year, the focus is on being one of the best teams in the league from start to finish showing even newcomers to this roster that this fan base will rally behind the franchise so long as they are winning.
Neville Gallimore recently appeared on the "Rahimi & Grote" show on 104.3 The Score in Chicago and raved about the team’s fan base. Gallimore would say there is no love like what the city of Chicago gives to their football team.

"You've heard the stories of what it's like to be part of the Bears family, the fanbase here is crazy and I mean that in a great way," Gallimore said. "The love here is insane, there's nothing like it. This place shows what it's like to be a diehard sports fan. I'm excited to be a part of this and continue to get the ball rolling. Put it this way, I went to the cleaners to get some stuff tailored and she was an older lady with not great English, but the one thing she knew was she loves her Bears. It's like that everywhere you go."
The city should be expected to be roaring this Sunday when the Bears have their regular season home opener, at Soldier Field, against the Minnesota Vikings. The team is looking for their first 2-0 start since the 2020 season.
