Stadium Policies
To ensure the safety of all guests, Soldier Field has enhanced security through the use of walk-through metal detectors at all gates. All carry-in items will be searched. Enhanced screening may require more time to enter the stadium. Guests are encouraged to enter the stadium early. Our gates open two hours prior to kickoff. Don't remove anything from your pockets as you go through security screeners, hold all your items and walk on through.
Ticket Advisory: To avoid counterfeit tickets, we suggest that fans purchase tickets directly from the Chicago Bears Ticket Office or from Ticketmaster. The selling and purchasing of game tickets on Park District property is prohibited. Both the seller AND purchaser are subject to arrest.
Parking & Transportation
Your parking pass must be visible to traffic aides when you are approaching the stadium. Follow the entrance and exit routes to expedite your arrival. To avoid delays, coupon holders are strongly encouraged to arrive at least one hour before kickoff.
There is no single game/cash parking on any of the Museum Campus Lots. We recommended that single game cash parkers use the Millennium Park Garages and take the free shuttle to Soldier Field.
