It opened in 1924 and is the home field of the Chicago Bears of the National Football League ( NFL ), who moved there in 1971. The stadium 's interior was mostly demolished and rebuilt as part of a major renovation project in 2002, which modernized the facility but lowered seating capacity, while also causing it to be delisted as a National Historic Landmark. Soldier Field has served as the home venue for a number of other sports teams in its history, including the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL, University of Notre Dame football, and the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer, as well as games from the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 1999 FIFA Women 's World Cup, and multiple CONCACAF Gold Cup championships. In 1968, it hosted the first Games of the Special Olympics. With a football capacity of 61,500, it is the third - smallest stadium in the NFL. In 2016, Soldier Field became the second - oldest stadium in the league when the Los Angeles Rams began playing temporarily at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which opened a year earlier than Soldier Field.

The name was changed to Soldier Field on November 11, 1925, as a memorial to U.S. soldiers who had died in combat. Its formal dedication as Soldier Field was on Saturday, November 27, 1926, during the 29th annual playing of the Army -- Navy Game. Its design is in the Neoclassical style, with Doric columns rising above the East and West entrances. The stadium cost $13 million to construct ( $182 million in 2015 dollars ), a very large sum for a sporting venue at that time ( in comparison, L.A. Memorial Coliseum had cost less than $1 million in 1923 dollars ). Early configuration In its earliest configuration, Soldier Field was capable of seating 74,280 spectators and was in the shape of a U. Additional seating could be added along the interior field, upper promenades and on the large, open field and terrace beyond the north endzone, bringing the seating capacity to over 100,000. Chicago Bears move in Soldier Field was used as a site for many sporting events and exhibitions. The Chicago Cardinals used it as their home field for their final season in Chicago in 1959. A dozen years later in September 1971, the Chicago Bears moved in, originally with a three - year commitment. They previously played at Wrigley Field, best known as the home of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, but were forced to move to a larger venue due to post-AFL -- NFL merger policies requiring that stadium capacities seat over 50,000 spectators. They had intended to build a stadium in Arlington Heights. In 1978, the Bears and the Chicago Park District agreed to a 20 - year lease and renovation of the stadium. Both parties pooled their resources for the renovation. The playing surface was AstroTurf from 1971 through 1987, replaced with natural grass in 1988. Replacement talks In 1989, Soldier Field 's future was in jeopardy after a proposal was created for a `` McDome '', which was intended to be a domed stadium for the Bears, but was rejected by the Illinois Legislature in 1990. Because of this, Bears president Michael McCaskey considered relocation as a possible factor for a new stadium. The Bears had also purchased options in Hoffman Estates, Elk Grove Village, and Aurora. In 1995, McCaskey announced that he and Northwest Indiana developers agreed to construction of an entertainment complex called `` Planet Park '', which would also include a new stadium. However, the plan was rejected by the Lake County Council, and in 1998, Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley proposed that the Bears share Comiskey Park with the Chicago White Sox. Renovation and Landmark delisting Aerial view of the stadium in 1988. Aerial view from 2002, showing Soldier Field with interior demolished. Meigs Field airport is to the right in the image. Soldier Field as seen from Lake Shore Drive. The modern grandstands, added in 2003, extend well above the original Neoclassical columns. Beginning in 1978, the plank seating was replaced by individual seats with backs and armrests. In 1982, a new press box as well as 60 skyboxes were added to the stadium, boosting capacity to 66,030. In 1988, 56 more skyboxes were added increasing capacity to 66,946. Capacity was slightly increased to 66,950 in 1992. By 1994, capacity was slightly reduced to 66,944. During the renovation, seating capacity was reduced to 55,701 by building a grandstand in the open end of the U shape. This moved the field closer to both ends at the expense of seating capacity. The goal of this renovation was to move the fans closer to the field. The front row 50 - yard line seats were then now only 55 feet ( 17 m ) away from the sidelines, the shortest distance of all NFL stadiums, until MetLife Stadium opened in 2010, with a distance of 46 feet. In 2001, the Chicago Park District, which owns the structure, faced substantial criticism when it announced plans to alter the stadium with a design by Benjamin T. Wood and Carlos Zapata of the Boston - based architecture firm Wood + Zapata. Stadium grounds were reconfigured by Chicago - based architecture firm of Lohan Associate, led by architect Dirk Lohan, the grandson of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The stadium 's interior would be demolished and reconstructed while the exterior would be preserved. This is an example of facadism. A similar endeavor of constructing a new stadium within the confines of an historic stadium 's exterior was completed in Leipzig, Germany 's Red Bull Arena, which similarly build a modern stadium while persevering the exterior of the original Zentralstadion. On January 19, 2002, the night of the Bears playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, demolition was begun as tailgate fires still burned in the trashcans in the parking lots. Removal of 24,000 stadium seats in 36 hours by Archer Seating Clearinghouse, a speed record never exceeded since, was the first step in building the new Soldier Field. Nostalgic Bears fans, recalling the glory seasons, especially 1985, along with some retired players picked up their seats in the South Parking lot. The foremen on the job were Grant Wedding, who himself installed the seats in 1979, and Mark Wretschko who was an executive for the factory who made the 1979 seats. Dozens of articles by writers and columnists attacked the project as an aesthetic, political, and financial nightmare. The project received mixed reviews within the architecture community, including criticism by civic and preservation groups. Prominent American architect and Chicagoan Stanley Tigerman called it `` a fiasco ''. The Chicago Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin dubbed it the `` Eyesore on the Lake Shore ''. The renovation was described by some as `` a spaceship landed on the stadium ''. Lohan responded, I would never say that Soldier Field is an architectural landmark. Nobody has copied it ; nobody has learned from it. People like it for nostalgic reasons. They remember the games and parades and tractor pulls and veterans ' affairs they 've seen there over the years. I would n't do this if it were the Parthenon. But this is n't the Parthenon. Proponents argued the renovation was direly needed citing aging and cramped facilities. The New York Times ranked the renovated Soldier Field as one of the five best new buildings of 2003. Soldier Field was given an award in design excellence by the American Institute of Architects in 2004. On September 23, 2004, as a result of the 2003 renovation, a 10 - member federal advisory committee unanimously recommended that Soldier Field be delisted as a National Historic Landmark. The recommendation to delist was prepared by Carol Ahlgren, architectural historian at the National Park Service 's Midwest Regional Office in Omaha, Nebraska. Ahlgren was quoted in Preservation Online as stating that `` if we had let this stand, I believe it would have lowered the standard of National Historic Landmarks throughout the country '', and, `` If we want to keep the integrity of the program, let alone the landmarks, we really had no other recourse. '' The stadium lost the Landmark designation on February 17, 2006. In May 2012, the stadium became the first NFL stadium to achieve LEED status. Public Transportation The closest Chicago ' L ' station to Soldier Field is the Roosevelt station on the Orange, Green and Red lines. The Chicago Transit Authority also operates the # 128 Soldier Field Express bus route to the stadium from Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station. There are also two Metra stations close by -- the Museum Campus / 11th Street station on the Metra Electric Line, which also is used by South Shore Line trains, and 18th Street, which is only served by the Metra Electric Line. Pace also provides access from the Northwest, West and Southwest suburbs to the stadium with four express routes from Schaumburg, Lombard, Bolingbrook, Burr Ridge, Palos Heights and Oak Lawn. Events Main article : List of events at Soldier Field Football Single events 1926 Army - Navy Game The stadium hosted its first football game, on October 4, 1924, between Louisville Male High School and Chicago 's Austin Community Academy High School. Louisville 's team won 26 -- 0. ( Chicago Tribune, October 2, 1924 ) Over 100,000 spectators attended the 1926 Army -- Navy Game. It would decide the national championship, as Navy entered undefeated and Army had lost only to Notre Dame. The game lived up to its hype, and even though it ended in a 21 -- 21 tie, Navy was awarded the national championship. The all - time collegiate attendance record of 123,000 + was established November 26, 1927, as Notre Dame beat the University of Southern California 7 -- 6. In 2016, 150,000 + attended a game between Virginia Tech and Tennessee at Bristol Speedway. Austin defeated Leo to win the 1937 Prep Bowl ; another contender for the highest attendance ever ( estimated at over 120,000 spectators ).

The stadium was host to 41 College All - Star Games, an exhibition between the previous year 's NFL champion ( or, in its final years, Super Bowl champion ) and a team of collegiate all - star players prior to their reporting to their new professional teams training camps. This game was discontinued after the 1976 NFL season. The final game in 1976 was halted in the third quarter when a torrential thunderstorm broke out and play was never resumed.
