How to watch the Bears-Packers wild-card playoff game Saturday night
Chicago is ready to bear down for its hometown football team's first postseason appearance in five years. Nobody's sure what’s going to happen, but everyone expects things to be raucous and “electric.”

What about Bears bars?

What if I’m a Packers fan?
Never fear, even Chicago Public Media is a divided house — our team has put together a map of Bears bars and Packers bars around the Chicago area to help you find your people and scream for the rightful winner, whoever that turns out to be.
