Halas Hall is a building complex in Lake Forest, Illinois, that serves as the Chicago Bears' headquarters. The building hosts the team's front office, as well as indoor and outdoor practice facilities. The franchise spent 20 million dollars to build the complex in 1997. It is four miles west of the original Halas Hall.
In 2013, the Bears announced that Halas Hall will be renovated, which will include an event center, broadcast studio, event center, along with an outdoor patio and dining facility. Additional conference rooms and staff offices will also be added, and the building will expand the parking lot and renovate the entrance to the lobby. The media courtyard will also be relocated; the event center's will feature interactive digital displays, video monitors and memorabilia such as the 1963 NFL Championship Game trophy.
Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
