Chicago Bears
From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki
The Chicago Bears were an American football team from Chicago, Illinois. They had their best seasons in 1985 and 2015. One of the teams they played against was the Spacers.
Martin McFly Jr. watched the Bears-Spacers game on October 21 through his video glasses.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- The football game is mentioned in the novelization, but not in the film itself. In extended footage of the dinner table scene, cut from the final release, Marty Jr. yells "Fumble!" while watching TV, indicating that he's watching football.
- In the novel, the Bears are described as playing in the "IFL", suggesting that the former National Football League has become an International Football League. By 2015, pro football is being played on Wednesday nights.
