There are no Chicago sports without Mike Ditka.

More than a legendary coach, “Da Coach” was a larger-than-life personality who helped define an era of Chicago sports and left a lasting legacy across generations of fans.

Beyond the football field, his legacy became part of the DuPage community through Ditka's Restaurant Group.

Today, we join fans across Chicagoland in remembering an icon. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who loved him.
