Football season is back! In addition to tailgating, the singing of the national anthem, roaring crowds, touchdowns, tackles and more, one of the main highlights of the game day experience is the food. 

Ahead of this Sunday’s season opener, the Chicago Bears and Aramark Sports + Entertainment (Aramark) hosted a tasting event at Soldier Field, introducing new food and beverage items that will be available this season. 

“We’ve appreciated the collaboration and the hard work that’s gone in from Aramark to put today’s event on, while also recognizing all of the conversations that go behind helping our fans having the best food and beverage experience they can on a game day,” said Lee Twarling, Chicago Bears SVP, Sales and Customer Relations.
