This week our Regional Manager and Vice President paid a visit to the Walter Payton Center, home of the Chicago Bears Training Facility.
Walter Payton Center is the Chicago Bears’ official indoor practice facility. The facility is named after one of the team’s most valuable players in franchise history and Hall of Fame inductee, Walter Payton. Payton spent a 13-season career with the team.
The rigid structure is an 85-foot high, half-cylindrical shaped building that features a full sized, 100-yard football field for the team to practice and scrimmage. Measuring a substantial 200 feet wide by 400 feet long, it is the only timber-framed facility utilized by the National Football League.
Walter Payton Center is a part of the Bear’s 38-acre training center, Halas Hall. The large and open location extensive performance-enhancing facilities for the team and has undergone a few upgrade and improvement cycles in 2005 and 2013 to keep the facility state of the art. One enhancement was to Walter Payton Center’s synthetic turf field. The facility currently houses one of the most elite quality of artificial turf systems from Act Global’s brand.
