Why You’ll Love It
Originally opened in 1924 as Municipal Grant Park Stadium, Soldier Field came to life after the architectural team of Holabird and Roche won a design competition. Just a year later, it was rebranded to honor U.S. soldiers, transforming into a living memorial to their service. Soldier Field quickly became a symbol of national pride and, during the "Golden Age of Sports," one of the country's premier venues. In 1968, it gained historical significance as the birthplace of the first Special Olympic Games. Home to both the Chicago Bears and Chicago Fire FC, the stadium boasts a natural grass field and a prime lakefront location, hosting countless legendary moments. Whether for football, soccer, concerts, or cultural events, Soldier Field stands as a cherished part of Chicago’s sports and architectural legacy.
