Soldier Field
Located on famous Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, reopened on September 27, 2003 after a complete rebuild, Soldier Field is currently home to the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Fire.
The field serves as a memorial to American soldiers who died in wars, hence its name. It was designed in 1919 and completed in the 1920s. It officially opened on October 9, 1924 (the 53rd anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire), as Municipal Grant Park Stadium, changing its name to Soldier Field on November 11, 1925. Its design is modelled on the Greco-Roman architectural tradition, with doric columns rising above the stands. However, after being remodelled, the stands now dwarf the columns.
