The Loop will be packed with people in lion regalia as Local Independent Online News Publishers gather in Chicago — but they won't all be journalists. The Detroit Lions will play the Bears at Soldier Field the Sunday right after the LION Summit, just a few blocks away.
Between the conference, the football game and the stone statues flanking the entrance of the Art Institute, it'll be a good weekend for lions in downtown Chicago.
