‘Bag man’ has solution for Bears fans’ big bags
Packing light takes skill.
If that skill eludes Chicago Bears fans who are attending Sunday’s home opener against the Cincinnati Bengals but who have not heeded new NFL bag restrictions, there is a solution.
It costs $10. Cash only.
Brian Gross, CEO of Chicago-based Entertainment Lockers, has launched a portable locker concession, located on 18th Street, where Bears fans can stow gear that is not allowed in the stadium in safe, locked environs. The two-year-old company also has contracts with the big music fests — Pitchfork, Lollapalooza and Riot Fest — as well as the Philadelphia Eagles and the BMW PGA Championship in north suburban Lake Forest.
