Soldier Field, Chicago

Soldier Field, Chicago

Soldier Field is the home of the Chicago Bears.

Soldier Field is the home of the Chicago Bears. If you'd like to see a Bears game, then you have something in common with many Chicagoans. The original Soldier Field was built in 1924 to honor veterans of the First World War, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. By 2002, the stadium was in dire need of renovations, and the Bears promised to preserve the majestic colonnades of the old stadium. However, when the renovations were complete, what appeared to be a giant spaceship had landed at mid-field. The amenities have improved, and it really is a nice facility on the inside. On the outside, it's hard to say what it is, other than probably the strangest-looking sports arena in America.
