Chicago Bears reschedule visit

Alestle Staff Report

The National Football League Chicago Bears will visit SIUE Tuesday, scouting the campus as a potential summer training camp.

The team's delegation had to cancel last week's visit due to bad weather.

SIUE is one of several campuses being considered as a training location. Other potential sites include Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, Eastern Illinois University at Charleston and Illinois State University at Normal.

The move would bring the Bears back in state from the University of Wisconsin in Platteville, Wis., where they have trained for 15 years.

Representatives from the team will have a press conference at 4 p.m. that day at B. Barnard Birger Hall.
