The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise.<br>The franchise was founded in Decatur, Illinois, on September 17, 1920, and moved to Chicago in 1921. It is one of only two remaining franchises from the NFL\u2019s founding in 1920, along with the Arizona <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/football\/nfl\/arizona-cardinals\/\">Cardinals<\/a>, which was originally also in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team played home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago\u2019s North Side through the 1970 season; they now play at Soldier Field on the Near South Side, adjacent to Lake Michigan. The Bears have a long-standing rivalry with the <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/football\/nfl\/green-bay-packers\/\">Green Bay Packers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team headquarters, Halas Hall, is in the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois.
