Soldier Field
Bears' home turf
Soldier Field is a stadium in Chicago, Illinois, home to the NFL's Chicago Bears since 1971.
Named to honor American military veterans, it opened in 1924 and hosted landmark events including the 1926 Army-Navy game and the 1994 World Cup.
A controversial 2003 renovation inserted a modern bowl inside the original neoclassical colonnades.
