The Chicago Bears is of course Chicago's football team, further linking the reveal to the Windy City.
On the Chicago Bears website there is this section :-
Also there is an unofficial fan site DABEARS.COM
Thanks to MWolverine for the information on the new clue.

First! Go Chicago LostArg-ers!
first ?? was hoping for Lowell, so close to me. oh well, I just got my Barracks Poster !! WooHoo
On the Bears website there is a section called Behind Da' Scenes
Hi Lisa, if you are able to, I'd love a picture of the whole poster for a follow blog post.
There is also a DABEARS.COM blog site
so it is australia?
Is there a Chicago in Australia ?
Just kidding . . . I know the bears are in the smokey mountains.
I can do that for you Zort. it might be a while, I have my son here visiting (he has downs so needs my full attention) He goes back to his school in a while.
Thanks Lisa
We have an East of Chicago pizza chain in Ohio, do they have West of Chicago pizza chain west of Chicago??? I must know.
I'll take a couple pictures of my Barracks and email them to you tonight when I get home if you still need some Zort.
Hrmm and the bears are playing sunday the 29th...but not in Chicago.
So, The Unsomnambulist was right. A grilled cheese shop in Chicago's 44th ward will be the location of the next reveal.

Way to go, guys. Subscribing by iPhone.
Jesse that would be great as well.
Hi Amy, fun fun fun on a Friday evening.
Continuing the yellow theme of the first clue I'm having some Bananas and Custard.
What a joy you guys are - so good at these clues!
@Lisa - same here as far as Lowell... about 45 minutes away.
Just got confirmation that the poster I traded (Walt's Kidnapping) for The Barracks has been delivered so I'm hoping to get mine in the next week or so. :)
44th Ward Dinner Party Restaurant has a FB page and someone just posted how good a cheese sandwich would be after all that turkey. I say add some delicious dharma bread and it would make the perfect sandwich! :)
Saturday = The Party (DJ's & Dance) and Sunday = Stripped (Acoustic & Open Mic). Any guesses to which day???
Again, nice work by The Unsomnambulis for nailing it this morning!
Woo hoo Chicago! And look at all these clues coming! Do you think the poster will come on the weekend now then?
Sunday?
I guess it depends if the "Da Bears" clue was just to for sure say chicago...or meaning something more. If we think there's more to it than just the Bears being in Chicago...I'd vote for Sunday (as they have a game then), but we've seen a lot of kind of "empty" clues? that just point us to a place yeah?
..geez..was Michael Emerson ever on Saturday Night Live?..If not..with a new play and Lost and everything..he is due. Of course.." Da Bears" is very SNL..
Anyway...give me a few minutes and you will have foto of The Barracks..Its circuitous journey is now complete..for now...#150/300 LT..and a BIG THANK YOU to Who Made IT Possible!!..yea..when you wish upon a star...Beauty, Thanks!!
I've read some reviews that 44th Ward is mainly a nightclub and dead during the early evening hours. The Bears play in Minnesota on Sunday (3:15 pm kickoff) but 44th Ward doesn't open till 5:30 pm. Hmmm . . . could be either Saturday or Sunday reveal at this point.
Good work The Unsomnambulis for getting the clue right so soon.
I think the Da Bears is just to point to Chicago.
My guess would be a Sunday reveal.
Zort, serious fun. We broke down on the Jersey Turnpike and spent four hours in an auto shop watching infomercials.
I live in Milwaukee and will definitely make the hour and a half drive south if it's tomorrow or Sunday. I've got nothing going on all weekend.
Does anyone have any hint at getting at poster I've been trying so hard to get one and they keep on selling out if anyone can help please let me know. We know that they are going to release the poster at the 44th Ward and probably on Saturday because of the SNL reference. I need at least one of these posters I don't even care which one it is.
44th Ward Dinner plans? Ok, it's a date. I'm going to say 'yes' to going to Chicago with a small caveat -the day/time needs to be just right so that my laptop is manned back home, otherwise no poster.
44th Ward Dinner Party
same day reservations 773-857-2911
as soon as day/time confirmed I will make the call
If you are going, please dm, pm, email lotto dot ticket dot 108 @gmail.com that you are attending. I would LOVE to have a table of LOST fans eating grill cheese "samiches."
opening hours again 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday
Some one, hint hint, could do a little recon tonight if he lives close by, hint, hint.
Waited all these months for a reveal close to home. And there you go. Now the question is what t-shirt to wear 1) MAAAAAAAALT, 2) Tyson Is A Genius (handmade), or 3) Locke Lives (courtesy Erika Olson, Long Live Locke)?
LotteryTicket - If it's Saturday night... you may want to have your dancing shoes on. So COOL that you hopefully get to go.
Take a look at some of their photos from their Facebook page.
I posted this previously, but I want to vent some more:
Chicago! Lakeview neighborhood! My old stomping grounds! I grew up less than a mile from there.
I moved to Virginia from the Chicago area 2 years ago. Am I bitter? No, of course not. ;)
My dad grew up in Chicago and has a strong Chicago accent. Instead of saying "the, them, and those" he says "da, dem, and dos".
I suppose I could make the 12 hour drive, unless someone going to the reveal would be kind to an almost life-time Chicagoan and get me some swag...
Anyone going to 44th Ward should try the grilled cheesecake.
sent it in Zort, going to get a frame tomorrow. I love it, thanks C. Your wonderful. I'm sending you something as a thank you in the mail.
Lisa and MEL, many thanks for the pictures, just what I needed.
Mat - Just keep refreshing the site once we know what the URL is, and make sure you know your credit card details. At this stage a moments hesitation is all it takes to loose out.
eMAIL

Theres an echo in here somewhere.
So happy some of our "regulars" finally get to go to a reveal!
lora, I will make sure a photograph of that that babe gets taken just prior to enjoying. thank you for recommendation.
MEL glad to see Barracks arrived safe and sound.
Adam, in MILWAUKEE! I'm hoping for Sunday as well. Stay in touch.
Zort70, past your bedtime *wink*
Amy Lynn, are you now safely on your way again? Informercial Hell. Exterminate! Exterminate!
Mat, I like the link to SNL, but really need Sunday reveal. When Go!Merch site back on-line, you need to set up account and then pray - a lot.
There is a party Saturday at The 44th Ward. I am guessing a Saturday reveal:
http://www.the44thward.com/party.html
So you have to set up an account after they release the poster?? Can you at least put it in a cart or something?
Mat, since these sell out so quick, you already have to have your account set up. If you click buy now and you have to fill out all your info, you won't get one. For some reason they blocked the page where you can check your account status and sign up if you are new so right now, you are screwed:(
Hopefully the order checking link will be back before the reveal.
Amy, sounds like a nightmare journey.
LT, yes I'm just going to bed now ;-)
Mat, you've ask THE question regarding purchases of prints. No, you can't put in cart. Yes, having an account set up is the only way you have a chance. I wish I could give better news. Unfortunately, transmission of data to Go!Merch server is all about computing speed and luck. Even with speed and luck, getting and keeping your print in the Go!Merch cart can be tricky.
Absolutely try! I see new names every week at THE LIST. Maybe it's just a matter of faith. :)
damn I'll still try anyway. Maybe if I'm lucky I can at least set up an account for the 15th and be lucky enough to get the 16th I mean REALLY LUCKY. The 16th will probably be really good because if you remember when this ARG started they were saying 15 will be LOST and the 16th will be found. Also can you only order one poster at a time?
What's the timing for Saturday night party? Chicago's fuse with Italy is -7.. Here it's 00.30, there 17.30.. So if there will be a 23.00 chicago reveal, i will have to get up at 06.00........ wtf
After a little Thanksgiving accident, literally, I come here to find two new clues, yay. And very exciting that LT & others may be able to attend the event.
email...:)
xxoo
Mat, yes one poster per person. I believe that is in the fine print somewhere.
ImAnnie when time is given, we will certainly give world equivalence. Mostly likely 5:30 p.m. US Central as that is the opening hours for 44th Ward, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, and if they
have, sorry for the repeat, since it's a Chicago
reveal, the artist is probably going to
be Jay Ryan, since that is where he's located.
I've heard he's doing a poster and we haven't
gotten to his yet. Very cool!
Well, i HOPE it is NOT a Saturday reveal. tomorrow i won't be at home by the time of the possible reveal.
If it is.... shit.
CHICAGO!!!! I'll be there, and get to meet LT and some of the rest of you folks in person!
I agree, DA BEARS is just to confirm Chicago, not linking to SNL. Not so sure about a Saturday reveal, it's possible, but unless they release another clue between now and tomorrow AM, I don't think that'll happen. They probably won't have the reveal on what's probably one of their busiest nights.
That leaves SUN and MON. SUN would be better for me than MON.
Did anyone post yet about the 44th ward post regarding the "stripped" night being canceled?
"Our acoustic performance & open mic night 'Stripped' is taking a week off, but there is still $2 PBR & FREE fried ice cream (with sandwich)!"
Wasn't that for Sunday?
Zort, bananas and custard! Wow that brings back the childhood memories. That and chocolate blancmange - ooh err.
Ok, Chicago. Well we werent far out re Oz! lol
C'mon, nather clue Tyson, Saturday nights the one?... could be.
I knew lurking wouldn't work for a new clue.
Be seeing you
Kiwilostie - you don't have to be small to eat bananas and custard :-)
LotteryTicket said...
Holy Grilled Cheese! Ob_, one question. Do you ever sleep?
Ahh, I guess there are a couple benefits to 4 calls crammed into about 12 days, all around Thanksgiving. ;)
@Jesse!
I believe that was last Sunday according to their FB post:
The 44th Ward Dinner Party Our acoustic performance and open mic night Stripped won't be happening tonight. However, we still have the same amazing Sunday specials $2 PBR cans and FREE fried ice cream (with sandwich purchase)! Open 5:30p-11:00p.
November 22 at 3:00pm
Ooops, saw that Jesse! Rikkitik, and had started to agree when I saw the date they posted to FB was 11.22.
Whoops! Sorry all! Jumped the gun a bit on that...My bones still feel sunday though.
Hmmm, almost want to make a reservation for SUN now.
Although, it looks like The Party each SAT doesn't get going until 10PM, so they could have the reveal at opening tomorrow.
Why not make reservations for both Saturday & Sunday... you can always cancel if it turns out that reveal will take place on Sunday. :)
P.S. How many of us are now fans & following 44th Ward on FB and Twitter?
Don't they typically give us more notice of the time? I mean, if there isn't a new post in the next couple of hours I'd seriously consider Sunday...Why oh Why! Did I move away from Chicago!
We have to have a party of 6 or more to book a reservation, so I think we have 4-5 right now. I'll be there, and have gotten my sister to go along, possibly one other. LT, slightlyaddicted, Crushproof, skarphedin -- if that list is correct, 6 for sure!
http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/dcpb/x/images/lost15flyer.jpg
Damn lying bones!
Well, look forward to following along tomorrow. Have a blast!
Do they sell any of the prints at the reveals.. or is it completely online? Thanks!!
Looked away for one minutes and chat chat chat
I've put in the call to Erika Olson, Long Lives Locke blogger. While I think she may be out of town, she will rally the folks in ChiTown.
Need those @ twitterers that are going, but will not add to list until day/time is given.
@44Ward has been added to the Twitter list.
Anybody know the whereabouts of Mr. Jensen and Mr. Wentz?
Reveal is tomorrow!!! 44th Ward!
Wait wait wait.
5.30PM in Chicago is 00.30 here in Italy. A possible BuyNow trigger time at 01.00. So i can do it, if I run.
Dinner & a poster served. :)
Fine food & fun to be had by those going. Maybe clue will be on the menu as part of a "special".
Time to make the reservations.
ImAnnie/Davde/Italy
You are seven hours ahead of Chicago.
Since it's already Sat. in Italy I don't think it will be your Sat. we'll need another clue for day and time and we probbably won't get it until tomorrow.our Sat.
..The most convenient for me would be Monday, since I'll be at work already.
Sat or Sunday means I'll have to go to work,,and have an excuse for being there in case any is required..as in..aaahhuuumm,,I screwed up my time accounting and need to fix it before midnite.. or...i am delinquent on this report and it just has to be done by Monday morning...or..i have to use this computer system and its mitey power to hold off the minions of Clanktek and thus save the world. Maybe not..security is wearing Glocks now. Better not mess with them.
geez I'm typing while the invitation is loading! Let's get organized!
Sorry I messed up your name "Davide"
Hmmmmm.. isn't Saturday the 28th?
Crap -- it loaded as I was typing too!
Tomorrow it is!
5:30pm Chicago is 3:30pm PST.
Yeah, another TYSON typo! wxpwct a correction, unless they're talking about turning a Wheel or ALT universes!
Ah the wrong date AGAIN remember this
Lottery Ticket - correct me if I'm mistaken, but is "organized" not your middle name? :) Thank you for getting the Twitter page together!!
All - don't forget that the 44th Ward also has a Twitter account and FB page.
Expect a correction.
also, the invitation doesn't give specific time of reveal, like "promptly" or "when the store opens" any thoughts.
i can do it.
I will try to be home for 5.45pm chicago time.
If i can't, is there any friend who can help me taking one poster for me? :(
Technically I was in bed when this flyer was posted, but I had to get up to do something else and saw the new info.
NEW POST
give me a minute, I'm making phone call to Chicago.
Ob_ can you make e-reservations. We'll be more than six. Use our twitter call names
HA...I knew it would be tomorrow.
Since we know they're following us, let's see how long it takes for it to get fixed... I say within the next 3 minutes. :)
mike..hurry up and print page it..you'll have an instant collectable and proof!!
That will teach me to post before I've read through all the posts.
zort looks like you fooled them. :)
Isn't that 3 posts in one day?
It's crunch time.
Yeah, Saturday is the 28th, not the 27th. Another mistake like the Ron Herman reveal?
Date is fixed - they are definitely on this!
