Bears Fans Show Their Class

Midwestern hospitality?

An example of one comment on the Chicago Tribune blog: "I know the owner of the Saints and they plan to issuing a formal complaint with the NFL over the treatment of our fans. Witnessed not just one sign but, fans were denied access to vending/bathrooms, had beer poured on them, had to defend themselves when attacked, were told they should have died from Katrina, etc... We had 11,000 people go to Chicago (which means major income into your city) and I can not find one person who did not have something negative happen to them at the game. This isn't about being a crybaby or not having tough skin... it's about a common respect for a community that has had it's fair share of disaster and pain. To flaunt that by hurling insult about something that cost lives is horrid. NOLA never asked to be "America's Team" but it was a grand bright spot in our stressed out world here. We have all been so spread out it made us feel for one moment "whole again." There is a drain on the citizens of the Gulf Coast from FLA, MS to LA... it is so very difficult to deal with and economy that is doing a balancing act & watch your close friends move away, and still staying to FIGHT for what is really important.. YOUR HOME! "
