How long do the starters or 2nd string usually play in week 1 of NFL preseason? I'm in Chicago but wasn't sure if I wanted to go to the Bears and Broncos game

I always like being at the stadiums to watch football. Have a beer or two and stay as long as the game is entertaining. On the plus side traffic shouldn't be bad when you leave.

Depends. Somewhere between a series and a half. It really depends on how experienced the players are and how secure they are. Average is probably 2-3 series. The bigger the star, the less they will likely play.

Preseason games (especially Week 1) lack the excitement of a regular season game, of course, but tix are generally cheap, and by halftime, you can easily move to much better seats, you don't have to contend with the bad exit traffic, and the weather is likely decent. The kids enjoy the games, regardless of how long the starters play, and for us dynasty junkies, it is a chance to catch a glimpse of some future prospects. I am rarely disappointed with the experience, just have realistic expectations.

I'm a season ticket holder and they make us pay full price for these games that are $4.00 on Stubhub. I actually go, tailgate, sit relax and drink a couple beers on a warm summer night. They won't play long and it's actually suppose to rain so I'll be miserable. It's fun being at the stadium though and not stressed out at the outcome.

I'm amazed each and every loss in what happens. They do find new ways to lose all the time. I'm banking on an 83 yard Justin Tucker FG Week 1.

depends on how close you live to the stadium and if you can get cheap parking.
a few years ago I went to see steelers vs. giants at giant stadium. i think it was 2010.
parking was 50 bucks and we had to take a bus to the stadium... what a joke..
