  Monsters of the Midway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Monsters of the Midway" is most widely known as the nickname for the National Football League's Chicago Bears -- particularly the dominant teams of 1940 and 1941.
The nickname Monsters of the Midway was originally applied to the University of Chicago "Maroons", a strong college football team under the leadership of Amos Alonzo Stagg.
"Midway" is a reference to the Midway Plaisance, a long, green swath of boulevard space bordering the southern end of the campus between 59th and 60th streets and running from Jackson Park to Washington Park on Chicago's South Side.

Part of their plan was that the Midway would function as "a magnificent chain of lakes," allowing boaters to go from the ponds to be built in Washington Park to the lagoons to be developed in Jackson Park and through the lagoons to Lake Michigan.
The next great event for the Midway was the decision to locate the Columbian Exposition in the underdeveloped parts of the South Park--the worldwide celebration of Columbus's transfer of "the torch of civilization to the New World" in 1492.

 IGN: Midway's Arcade Classics and Monsters Rampage to Stores
November 19, 2001 - Midway has announced that both Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits and Rampage Puzzle Attack for the Game Boy Advance are currently shipping to stores.
Midway's Arcade Classics is a compilation pack of four classic arcade titles released almost two decades ago: Joust, Robotron 2084, Defender and Sinistar.
These games will be near pixel-perfect emulations of the original game code, but unfortunately the game will lack the link cable support for two player simultaneous play in Joust...and trust me, that will hurt the game's overall score in our official review, absolutely.

This is one of those teams where we feel really hesitant to say much about because while we've seen them several times, including many of their players who have played for different teams in the past, we just didn't get to see them at all this trip.
Likewise, we've also seen some of coach Dave Bloomfield's earlier incarnations of the Monsters of the Midway teams enough to know that notwithstanding who says they're going to play (and thus who is listed on the roster) sometimes with kids you just never know.
Since Andrew Bloomfield, coach Dave's son, is a graduating senior and will be moving on (and since Dave also helps coach at The Master's College anyway), we're not sure the Monsters of the Midway will be reconstituted later this summer.
