George McCaskey: Bears need to improve product so fans are 'not interested in selling their tickets'
Bears chairman George McCaskey said it was “understandable” why fans chanted for his family to sell the Bears during their last home game, a Thursday night loss to the Seahawks. But he was also clear that he didn’t appreciate the sheer number of Lions fans who were able to buy tickets on the secondary market in the home game prior to that.
“Our fans are passionate,” McCaskey said Tuesday at Halas Hall. “They’re incredibly frustrated. They wanted to make their voices heard. I was more bothered by the week before when Lions fans tried to take over Soldier Field and force the home team to go to a silent snap count. Fortunately, that didn’t happen [that the Bears needed a silent count].
“It’s understandable that Bears fans would sell their tickets because of the way the season has gone, and the challenge for us is to put a team on the field that Bears fans are so excited about that they’re not interested in selling their tickets.”
The Bears have not won a single playoff game in the since McCaskey became chairman in 2011.
