Soldier Field – Chicago, IL

Soldier Field opened in 1924 in Chicago, and is primarily known for hosting the Chicago Bears, who have played there since 1971. Soldier Field is often compared to a spaceship because of how unqiue the exterior of the stadium looks. I find the entire experience at Soldier Field to be amazing, and it is one of my favorite sports stadiums I have ever visited. When you approach the stadium everyone filters through a tunnel into the grand entrance, which can be seen in the bottom left of the photo above. Inside the stadium, I always walk over by the massive columns that are on one side. The great thing about Soldier Field is it is positioned on the lakefront, so you can look out onto the lake and see the entire Chicago skyline from inside the stadium. While the building itself is amazing, it is special to me because of the atmosphere inside. The stadium seats are extremely steep, the weather during football season is usually quite cold, especially with the lake effect wind, but despite that, the atmosphere inside the stadium is always electric. I have been able to witness some huge victories and crushing defeats, I have seen people cheer, laugh and cry all inside Soldier Field. The amazing memories I have inside this amazing building ensure that the spaceship will always hold a special place inside my heart.
