'Bear Force One' is For Sale
Recreational vehicle dedicated to the Monsters of the Midway can be yours for just $1,250.
Despite the team’s poor record and consistent underachievement over the past two decades, fans of the Chicago Bears travel as well as any other team in the National Football League.
But only one fan will be able to travel to the team’s away games in “Bear Force One,” a recreational vehicle one fan has turned into a complete homage to the Monsters of the Midway.
Someone in the Oswego area has listed the RV on Craigslist for only $1,250. There is one catch, however.
