Team Chairmen George McCaskey made the announcement through an email.
Via NBC Sports:
“It is only appropriate that the father of professional football and the greatest player in the history of the game are being honored in this way, and perhaps no better time for the unveiling than as we kick off our centennial season. Thank you to the Chicago Park District, Soldier Field and SMG for their support throughout the process, and to sculptor Chad Fisher for his artistry in bringing his subjects to life.”
So when is Mike Ditka’s statue going up? Is it the type of honor that is only reserved for the dead?
