Soldier Field seating plan & guide

Soldier Field, on Chicago's lakefront, is the NFL's oldest stadium and home of the Chicago Bears since 1971. Originally opened in 1924 with its signature neoclassical colonnades, it was dramatically rebuilt in 2003, placing a modern bowl inside the historic columns; it is also the league's smallest stadium by capacity.

Best sections

Lower sideline

Lower-bowl sideline seats near the colonnades offer close, intimate views in this compact stadium.

United Club level

Club seats add heated indoor space, a real benefit for cold, windy lakefront games.

Upper level (sideline)

Upper sideline rows are the best-value tier and can catch glimpses of the lake and skyline.

Insider tips

  • It's open-air right on Lake Michigan, so expect wind and cold late season and dress in layers.
  • Parking is tight near the Museum Campus; use CTA buses or the Metra Electric line to nearby stations and compare prices across sites.
