The Bears and Olivet Nazarene University signed a two-year agreement to hold Bears training camp in Bourbonnais through 2012.

The Bears also have an option for 2013.

The university has been home to the Bears during training camp for the past nine years. The school, about 60 miles south of Chicago, has steadily improved the facilities, and they now have four practice fields, air-conditioned locker rooms and dining facility, a weight room, meeting rooms and dorms for players and staff and has enabled thousands of Bears fans to enjoy training camp practices.
