The NFL has changed the Bears – Packers game from a noon start time to 7:15, which will mean about 60,000 fans will stream out of Soldier Field around 11 p.m. The time change is sure to alter plans at hotels and restaurants, and also cause some problems for the Chicago Police Department.

Let’s see. I was planning to go over to a friend’s house to eat, drink and watch crappy NYE shows. Now I’ll be eating, drinking and watching the Bear’s game! Sounds good to me. What does it do to your plans?
