First impressions It’s always very worrisome & intimidating when 60,000 people are trying to get to the same location nearly at the same time as you. Preparing ahead of time was essential on where to park and how much cash to bring as well. Once you have the idea, then there are plenty of signs and staff who’ll be willing to direct you to the correct location. What impressed me the most was their undeterred willingness to make you feel safe. You saw police, security, and avenues of communication to report suspicious/unBEARable activity. Location The location is beautiful! Right alongside the lake, so it makes it for a pleasant drive when you in an hour of stadium traffic! There is always unpreparedness for the extra wind from the lake effect that no one seems to remember but instantly regrets. Most of the facilities were modernized back in the 2000s, but you don’t feel it outdated just yet. I’ve traveled to a few stadiums, and Soldier Field is far superior to many of those (except Dallas, Atlanta). This is a prime location to bring friends to enjoy an array of sporting events, concerts, and fun. I will say the United club was a nice extra touch, but WAY overcrowded. I couldn’t believe how long the men’s line restroom was and how small the space to get food was. If you manage to get there before the swarm of people, then it’s a fantastic experience. I couldn’t even imagine the stress of taking my kids during that halftime traffic. Staff I thought the staff was overall pleasant in comparison to other sporting venues. I wouldn’t fault them for being grumpy in shepherding many patrons asking the same questions over and over. They did fantastic directing us to our section, and specifically, in the United Club, they did well handling the massive crowds. I saw them opening doors for folks and food vendors, making conversation with customers. Awesome to see in the United club! Food The food was delicious! I thought for sure a stadium feeding 60k people would dice quality in at least half to find a way to feed fast. I not only received my food quickly, but the food was surprisingly good. Did I think it was overpriced? Yes, of course! But honestly, stadium food is always overpriced. I would most certainly grab this food again and again.
