Bears freeze season-ticket prices for 2015

CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears President & CEO Ted Phillips said in a letter to season-ticket holders that prices for season tickets will not increase next year in the aftermath of the club's 5-11 finish in 2014 that cost head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery their jobs.

"The 2014 season started with high hopes and ended in total disappointment," Phillips wrote. "We decided a new direction was necessary, and we have acted quickly and decisively."

Phillips added: "It's time to bring back a winning identity to the Chicago Bears."

Additionally, Phillips promised season-ticket holders "new enhancements to Soldier Field" in 2015.

This could be in reference to replacing the video screens that sit atop the north and south endzones inside Soldier Field. The Bears have actively researched the idea of installing larger and digitally enhanced video screens at Soldier Field, such as the Cleveland Browns unveiled in August at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Browns received rave reviews after the installation of two, high-definition video boards that measure 192 feet wide and 40 feet tall.

"We will continue to deliver value to make your gameday experience at Soldier Field second to none," Phillips added. "Our goal is simple. Play tough and smart and bring the Super Bowl trophy back to Chicago for the greatest fans in the world. You deserve it."
