A familiar face to Windy City sports fans will sing the national anthem at the Chicago Bears’ game against the Los Angeles Rams. The teams will face off on Jan. 18 in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, with the No. 2 seeded Bears looking to best the No. 5 seeded visitors.

Before the game gets underway, Jim Cornelison will perform the national anthem for the crowd at Soldier Field. Cornelison is well known to locals, as he’s the regular national anthem performer at Chicago Blackhawks hockey games.

He’s previously performed ahead of several Bears matchups too. In fact, he was the national anthem singer at the first game of the season, when the Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 24 to 27.

“Bears fans, As loud as you were for opening day this year, as much energy as there was in the stadium, do you think Sunday you will be even louder when we rock the anthem for the
@ChicagoBears vs @RamsNFL game?” Cornelison tweeted. “I bet so and I can’t wait!! #gobears #beardown”

Cornelison won’t be the only musical entertainment during the game. At halftime, country singer Chase Rice will perform.
