About Soldier Field

Soldier Field opened in 1924 on Chicago's lakefront and was renamed in 1925 for U.S. soldiers who died in World War I. Its Doric colonnades still rise above the east and west sides, kept when the interior was rebuilt in 2002 and 2003. The Chicago Bears have played here since 1971, and Chicago Fire FC and stadium concerts share the calendar. Public stadium tours take you through the visitors' locker room, a suite, the colonnades and onto the field.
