Miss America Comes to Halas Hall

Not all pageant queens are too focused on world peace to care about sports. Case in point: current Miss America Katie Stam. Stam hails from Indiana, but she has been a Chicago Bears fan for quite some time. With her newfound title, meeting some of her favorite Bears was now a possibility. She arrived at Halas Hall last week and was soon living the dream by rubbing elbows with the likes of Lovie Smith, Robbie Gould and Nick Roach.

She talked about meeting Smith and said, “He’s amazing. He’s incredible. He’s a wonderful coach. I truly admire him. I was sitting there staring at Brian Urlacher’s locker because he’s my favorite player-I’ve got my Urlacher jersey and a hat with a big ‘54′ on it that I wear for every single game. When I turned around and saw Lovie Smith, I kind of turned into a 12-year-old girl who just saw ‘N Sync.”

Stam potentially has another experience coming up with the Bears: singing the National Anthem at Soldier Field. Stam and other Bears fans are gearing up for the excitement of this season, which is sure to be a fun one. Fans can be there by getting Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
