All You Ever Wanted to Know About Da Bears-- Part 6: The "C", Da Bears and Wrigley Field

12.  THE "C"--  The team's first logo, a black bear atop a football, was introduced in the early 1950s.  The familiar wishbone "C" was introduced in 1962.

13.  DA BEARS--  Halas adopted the nickname Bears because they played their home games at the Cubs park, Wrigley Field.  Cubs grow into Bears.

14.  WRIGLEY FIELD--  Da Bears played home games at Wrigley Field from 1921 through 1970.

15.  SOLDIER FIELD--  The Bears' home on the lakefront since 1971, except for 2002, when they played their home games at the University of Illinois in Champaign while Soldier Field was being made to look like a spaceship.
