Soldier Field has a rich history in the city of Chicago. The iconic stadium on the lakefront serves as a memorial to American soldiers who have died in wars. It was designed in 1919 and opened on October 9, 1924, as Municipal Grant Park Stadium, changing its name to Soldier Field on November 11, 1925. In September 1971 the Chicago Bears made Soldier Field their home.

GO BEARS!!! and one major reason i love Soldier Field is it's long time dedication and patriotism toward all veterans of the United States from which i happen to be a Veteran myself started off with the United States Marine Corps in 1991-1994 ended up years Later in the U.S. Air Force at Vandenberg U.S. Air Force Base in my home state of CA from 2005 to 2008.

no matter if a giant spaceship landed in the middle of the stadium, no matter if it lost it's status as a national landmark, no matter if you're a bears fan or not, you must always respect soldier field for it's history, its name, and the team that plays there, i am an eagles fan saying this, soldier field is the greatest stadium in the country, along with the los angeles memorial coliseum, but at least soldier field will keep its name, especially not name it after an airline that assaults passengers and defends their actions.

Love the hockey game footage & fireworks at the end. Insufficient Super Bowl capacity is ok; Chicago weather unsuitable, anyway. But an artificial playing surface is needed. The ground under Soldier Field is always saturated, probably due to proximity to Lake Michigan. The most durable sod on earth won't stand up to that, so grass always torn up, with dangerous footing.

Doesn't appear there's anything about the car racing that took place there. They raced on an oval built around the football field. The crowds & car count were so big they raced two nights a week. Several drivers who started out there went on to NASCAR. Fred Lorenzen was a two-time USAC National Champion on the way.

USAC championship was a much much bigger deal than being in NASCAR back then. Championship car racing was a much bigger deal in general in America up until the 90s.

Oh Lombardi was a fat sausage chewing wino who really didn’t innovate like papa bear he just drilled ( like dog training) simple Simon crap to a bunch of retards. All facts.

I love Soldier Field but the bears need an upgrade. Chicago should tear down Soldier Field and rebuild a modern stadium with a retractable roof or a dome in the same area so Chicago can host Final 4s, National Championships, Wrestlemanias, NBA All Star Weekends, and Super Bowls. There’s other historic stadiums that’s been replaced over the years. Candlestick Park, Yankee Stadium, etc have been replaced in recent years. Nothing last forever. In 2050, are the bears going to still be at Soldier Field? We should get a bigger, modern stadium because it’s a new era for the Bears and you’d want more fans to be able to watch the bears live. We seem to have finally got our qb in the draft. Let’s get more fans in a new stadium to cheer for our qb and have more people make noise to disrupt opposing offenses and backup the strong defenses Chicago is known to put on the field.
