    I really enjoyed my first visit to this stadium to watch a Chicago Fire soccer game. Every seat seems like a good view. Really fun ambiance. Lots of fire effects and good music. The concessions were delicious too. Mr. Beef sandwiches were excellent. Serious security. They went through my clear bag thoroughly twice and scanned me with their wand. I love the location. I took a nice walk along Lake Michigan afterwards. I look forward to attending more events here.

    We spent some time in Chicago Ill recently. As a football fan (though not a Chicago Bears fan) I couldn't resist making a visit to Soldier Field. Even on a non-gameday... Perched proudly on the edge of Lake Michigan, just south of the shimmering glass and steel of downtown Chicago... Soldier Field stands not merely as a stadium, but as a monument to American grit and sporting legend. As you walk around the stadium, you'll notice the contrast between the original row of columns (a nod to its 1920s heritage) and the modern renovations completed sometime in the early 2000s. Whether you love or hate the updated design it's visually striking... The stadium, originally known as Grant Park Municipal Stadium, was renamed Soldier Field in 1925 in honor of the men and women of the armed forces. The Veterans Memorial Wall, near the stadium's base, brings a moment of quiet reverence. Names etched in granite. Flags snapping in the wind. It's a reminder that this stadium stands not just for entertainment, but in remembrance... Soldier Field is a tribute... To history. To heartbreak. To heroism. To a city that bleeds navy and orange, with a skyline in its chest and a lake at its feet...

    'So come up with me, I'll take you high. That Prima donna spice up your life. You know I got that sh that you like. So come up with me, run up, uh, JUMP!' Blackpink in your Soldier Field Area! I've seen Bp in a hockey rink, an NBA arena, and now a football stadium. I suspect the next Blackpink tour will be in space. Any who, let's talk about Soldier Field. I was excited to see Blackpink again, but I was also excited to check out Soldier Field. It's not a place I've been or a place I'll ever go since I'm not a Bears fan. (Steelers for life). When it comes to NFL stadiums, I've been to a few(Indy, Cincinnati, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Detroit). And now Chicago... and it's probably for the best that they're moving to a new stadium sooner rather than later. It's fine, and I'm sure it serves its purpose well, but you can definitely tell it's dated. That old feel does add a certain historic charm to the place, but in this situation, I'm not jaded by that history. To be one of the major markets in the US, and sit right next to the city and Lake Michigan, you would expect magnificent. You can't even get to the place easily. It's a bit over a mile walk from the train, even. That part wasn't a huge deal because we walked in, but even the parking seemed lacking. Security seemed to be all over the place. One thing to note if you're visiting for a concert. Check their bag policy. They're super strict and won't let you in. They'll send you around to the lockers, which are south of the stadium. If you're entering on the north side and have to utilize the lockers, you're going to be walking an extra 2 miles before you make it into the venue. Another oddity for us was that they had part of the concourse closed. So walking in... we could've been in our seats in 5 minutes. Instead, we had to walk around the concourse to the other side(about 15 minutes) before we reached our section. Aside from that, the self-checkout concessions were awesome. The place was clean, and the staff was ready to answer any questions and direct you if needed. I'd likely attend another concert here, but if the touring act visits another city or venue in proximity, I'd opt for the other venue/city.

    First time here for a Bears game and it was fabulous! Easy drive into the stadium. Easy parking at the white lot, close to the gates, security was easy to navigate through. Staff were friendly and polite! Beautiful stadium too! Well kept!

    MISTAKE BY THE LAKE, PART 2 As much as I love Chicago and da Bears, their move to Arlington Heights can't happen soon enough. My wife and I saw AC/DC perform at Soldier Field on Memorial Day weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Though she'd never been here before, this was my fourth time (Bears preseason game, Guns N Roses concert, Spring Awakening 2014) and it was everything I had come to expect. First off, a seating capacity of only 61,000 people is woefully inadequate when talking about one of the largest media markets in the country. As a matter of fact, Chicago's very own Soldier Field is now that SMALLEST stadium in the NFL! No wonder fans can hardly attend games -- demand is so high and supply so meager. The stadium is incredibly easy to find yet almost impossible to get to, unless you live on a boat in Lake Michigan. The nearest CTA stop is Roosevelt, more than a mile from Soldier Field and a 20 minute walk. Your other option is to pay upwards of $50 to park nearby, or (maybe) have an Uber drop you off. There was a heavy security presence and entry to the concert was fairly smooth. However, exiting the stadium was a total nightmare. A massive pedestrian bottleneck formed trying to cross over the Metra tracks, and it must've taken us 15 minutes JUST to get onto the ramp. After that, it was another 15-20 minute walk to our car in drizzling rain. Don't even get me started on the douchebag vendor. Despite advertising Blue Moon in 16oz cans, the first beer vendor we encountered said "nah we don't sell that", okay we'll settle for a Coors Light then. When we added a (conventional) tip of $1/beer he sarcastically shouted "ooohhh BIG tippers here, we got some BIIIIIIG tippers tonight!" Like are you fucking kidding me dude?? How about NO TIP next time with that scornful attitude. Never in my life have I seen such rudeness from a stadium employee. * TL;DR * Review updates aren't usually my bag, I just had to vent about what I consider one of the WORST stadiums I've ever been to (probably 19th out of 19). Worst facilities, worst vendors, worst logistics to get in/out, worst exposure to the elements, and definitely worst aesthetics. Plopping a glass and steel monstrosity on top of a revered historical structure was colossally stupid. Some people think the U.F.O looks cool, but I think it looks hideous, a blight on an otherwise beautiful lakefront landscape. Tear down the modern garbage, leave the original WW2 structure and turn Soldier Field into a museum or something. The people of Chicago deserve better than this.

    I have only attended soldier field for concerts. To be very specific only for Beyoncé concerts. I love that this facility is off the lake and you get the massive views of downtown. I really want to attend a sporting event here and will be really bummed if Da Bear leave. This field is really a historic treasure. It is one of the oldest stadiums in the country and I really do need to get back to see additional events here. As mentioned on both occasions, I was here to see Beyoncé, once for Renaissance and lastly for cowboy Carter. Each time I sat on completely opposite sides of the field. The first time I was in the lower 400s which was kind of far, but would probably be decent for a football game. The second time I sat at the club level in section 316 and that was really nice. I thought we had a little bit more room over there and also it was nice having an easier access to the concession stands. I will also say it was a lot easier getting out from the 300 level as opposed to the 400 level just because of where they were located for the club seats. All in all, this is a super nice stadium but getting here is semi hard because it's a good mile walk from CTA train and then also just getting through the park is somewhat an obstacle, especially if there's a festival being set up. There are plenty of bicycle taxis that will take your money and get you there so you could always use that option. On both occasions that I went traffic was really closed down and you're only option. Was the bicycle or your feet. I will also note that they do have those rent a bikes that are nearby the stadium so you could also ride one of those into there. just no guarantee that a bike is going to be available after your event is Over

    This venue was the destination that kicked off my friend and I's Chicago trip planning - we got to see Blackpink live! Both of us aren't die-hard BLINKs, but the chance to see them in person (and reunite after a while) was too good to pass up. Our original LA concert plans flopped (I was ready to pull every connection card I had), but Chicago became our perfect Plan B. Location: Right off Lake Shore Dr, this place screamed "Roman Coliseum vibe" - towering, massive, and definitely built for spectacle. Getting there: Unless you live in South Loop, this is a "wear comfortable shoes and thank yourself later" situation. My friend and I stayed at an Airbnb nearby... and we still clocked a solid 30-45 minute walk. As for parking? Unless you like traffic jams... Atmosphere: Electric, lively, and loud - pure ddu-du ddu-du energy. Even as casual fans, we were swept in a magical sea of pink light sticks and buzzing excitement. The visuals and audio were crisp - no "tiny ant" stage views here. The fireworks synced to certain songs? Incredible. Merch: An hour-long wait (aka more standing), but worth it - I fulfilled my K-pop dream of purchasing a light stick that doubles as an emergency flashlight. Food/drinks: Didn't try any, but the stands looked like your classic stadium fare: beer, hot dogs, burgers. Nothing Blackpink-themed or unique. Service: The only "interaction" was a lightning-fast ticket scan, and we were in. Price: Technically "free" after paying for your tickets (so... not free, but let's pretend). Would I return? If the stars align and I find myself in Chicago again with another must-see artist on the lineup who's performing at this stadium? Sure thing.

    I used to live walking distance to Soldier Field, and at that time I had a love/hate relationship with the place.... Because I could hear concerts in my apartment if I opened the window. Cool sometimes. Real annoying sometimes. But overall, after attending several events, I like it. It's clean, easy to navigate. Prices are over the top and it stinks getting there via public transit or parking. Brings in some good shows, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see someone there unless I really loved them.

    I came here for the Beyoncé cowboy Carter concert. I loved the fact that parking was easy and attached to the stadium which saved us from a ton of walking. Getting in was easy and no fuss at all. The venue was PACKED! I mean, not that I was surprised, I mean we are talking about thee Beyoncé....... This was the opening show in Chicago and boy did the Beyhive show up and showed out. That being said, they could have worked on organization a bit more. With so many people in one place it was really hot. The ac should had been on Antarctica! People were on top of each other because it was storming out, but we survived. I really wish they would have had a SirDavis setup like they did in LA. But, they had many bars and food available for purchase. Despite it being really packed, the restrooms were clean and well maintained. It was a nightmare trying to find our seats, the crowd was just too big. It would have helped if there were staff directing the people traffic. The seats are extremely uncomfortable and tight. But, it was all worth it! Beyoncé put on a phenomenal show, and I'd do it all over again! Soldier Field is an open stadium so keep that in mind. It states that soldier field could seat 61,500 people and there was not an empty seat in site.

    The best place ever!!! When the bears play its like no other! Can't wait to get back!

    BLACKPINK at Soldier Field!
    Lisa S.

    Thus place is a Chicago icon and where many artists dream of performing. I went here recently for the Black Pink concert and the venue did not disappoint. My only gripe about this place is that it is VERY hard to get an uber home. There should be designated uber pick up areas like the airport. Other than that, it's a great venue.

    Time for a new stadium. Dated and sad. Soldier field lacks the nostalgic feel because of the horrible renovations. Unless you walk the pillars, you're not missing much. Otherwise, Go Bears!

    AC/DC Power Up Tour, 5-24-2025. Showtime!
    Howard L.

    I returned to a sold-out Soldier Field to see AC/DC's return to North America touring after a long 9 year hiatus. The concert itself was a blast and it was a real treat to see Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Angus Young and Brian Johnson perform many of their greatest hits before calling it quits. My main review comments here are about Soldier Field as a concert venue though. Probably the best thing about Soldier Field as a concert venue is that the sound quality is excellent, especially for such a large outdoor venue. The rest are negatives and relate to how large the venue is as it can hold about 70,000 people for a concert. Many of the seats are pretty far away from the stage especially if the stage is located at one end of the football field. Thus, many folks have to rely on the quality of a band's video screen setup to see much of anything. I also saw U2 here back in 2009 and 2011 and they had a great visual and video screen setup and the stage was located more in the center of Soldier Field. AC/DC did not have as good a video screen and visual setup as U2 I would say, and that took a bit away from the concert. We sat in section 441 row 9, so it wasn't very far away relative to many other seats, but it was still not particularly close and with a partially obstructed view (but I knew that with the ticket purchase). I thought the video screen setup might help compensate, but the coverage wasn't as good as I had hoped. Anyway, for a venue as big as Soldier Field, the concert quality will depend on how the band sets itself up, and I'll count that as a knock against SF. Also I would hate to be on the flat and huge "main floor" in folding chairs when the stage is at one end of the football field. I don't see how those expensive seats could be worth it at Soldier Field with the distance and poor viewing angle involved. The other knock I found from leaving section 441, was that the crowd was at a standstill for a long while as we exited. It turns out a huge number of people in the 400 sections were trying to channel through a couple of narrow staircases to get down to the 200 level. We went backwards and around after losing patience and found a much more open route through a much wider staircase that exists at both the north and south ends of SF and then exited the stadium down stairs instead of a ramp. Soldier Field does not have a very good layout for leaving, at least for some sections, and we just got lucky and saved ourselves maybe 20-30 minutes. Washroom access was fine during the concert. As far as parking, I say just use SpotHero and walk a mile or so. There's no way to see anything at Soldier Field and not have to walk a bit, and I wouldn't recommend parking anywhere close to Soldier Field due to both cost and congestion. Overall, I'd say about 3 stars for Soldier Field as a concert venue with most of the credit going for sound quality and possibly a good sightline depending on your seat location.

    Ask the Community - Soldier Field

    Can I smoke cigarettes at a concert?

    There's a smoking area across from the concessions that's pretty large where people go to look at the lake and skyline so yes. Maybe officially it's just for vaping (I don't smoke) but lots of people were smoking lots of things without consequence.

    Does soldier field have a box office on where to purchase tickets? If so what time do they open and what days are they open?

    Box office is on south side of stadium across from gate 0.

    Can you bring outside food into the stadium?

    No they don't allow that

    Taking young kids to their first concert here and hear they close off traffic for an hour post concert and you need to walk at least a mile to the designated car service area. Anyone know a way to get picked up close to solider field?

    Any Ubers or taxis get stopped before the bridge, so it's impossible to get closer unless you drive and park in the parking lot for Soldier Field.

Drink prices here are through the roof (which is to be expected but still kinda annoying). I paid $36 for 2 cans of modelos. Most sections had no security so there were many people who kept seat hoping. It was mainly an issue for people who had front row seats since people would sneak into your spot if you left to use the restroom, to the bar, etc.. they'd move out of your spot once you returned but it's still annoying to have to repetitively do that if you need to leave for a short period of time. Overall it's not a bad arena.

There wasn't much direction on which line to stand in -- some lines were obvious, but there was also a long line off to the side with zero explanation. That mystery line? Turns out it's for bag check. My crossover bag was very, very, very slightly oversized (like... come on ), and I had to leave the main line, check my bag in a locker, get a code, then get back in the main line again. Of course, this also meant waiting again after the game to retrieve it. Super inconvenient. Inside, the arena is pretty standard, just smaller. I went to see the Chicago vs. Dallas WNBA game -- I had literally just landed in Chicago and was looking for something to do that night. I mainly went to see Angel Reese, but honestly, I wasn't super impressed. Arike Ogunbowale, though? That girl can HOOP. She definitely caught my eye. I'm from Texas, so I found myself cheering for both the Dallas Wings and Angel Reese... somehow that math still worked. Overall, decent arena experience, but clearer signage and a little grace with bag sizes would go a long way. I didn't eat any arena food because I planned to go to Portillo's after the game.

But to get the replacement, I have to spend more money to ship the original one back, and now lose out on the Cyber Monday pricing because I have to essentially buy a new jersey at today's price, rather than just being able to exchange size-for-size. This is all so customer-unfriendly in the age of Amazon and year 2024.

    Few people know that on a quiet tree-lined stretch of the near south side of Chicago sits the…read more"brain trust", if you can call it that, of United States soccer. Inside these offices sit a man (or maybe a little ogre) named Sunil Gulati - a businessman with no soccer background. And, from his office - I like to picture it as a dungeon, though I'm sure it's a golden palace - he makes bad decision after bad decision on how to build soccer in the United States. Looking for a new coach? Why not hire another MLS/U.S. college retread instead of an internationally respected guy. Have one of the worst calls in the history of the World Cup made against you (when even the BBC says the United States shouldn't have had a goal waived off against Slovenia when their home team is fighting in the same group)? Filing a protest would take too much effort and paperwork. It's much easier just to sit back and hope to get a better referee next time. Pressure MLS to conform better to the international calendar. Why? Because it would help player development to have them available for games. Unnecessary! Get the United States team back into the Copa America? Why test it against the best national teams in South America? They might get intimidated, lose confidence. Yet, somehow, despite Enron/Goldman Sachs/BP level incompetence at the top, a rag-tag band of second-tier European players and MLS all-stars managed to get to the second round of the World Cup and won its group over England in the process. These players with unbreakable hearts came from behind twice and scored in the last couple of minutes of the final group game to do so. They stared elimination in the face twice and laughed! Laughed not out of hubris but out of hope. Maybe that flows from the top, but I doubt it. Anyhow, despite the U.S.S.F., I'm proud of my home country's soccer team. No need to look overseas for a team to support when the United States plays a no-diving (okay, not much, Jozy Altidore does go down a bit easy), offense-minded, soccer that matches the kind of soccer that people in the United States would like to see the whole world play. And the leadership hasn't been all bad. The U.S.S.F. is trying hard to bring the World Cup back to U.S. soil in 2018 or 2022. They finally opened a training center in 2003. And you can't argue with results like a second place in the Confederations Cup and consistent women's team success. Still, if we had a better governing body in the United States, soccer success on the men's side might have come to the United States a long time ago.
