Really great venue for large concerts, but I wouldn't recommend driving there. Get a ride, and if it's a car service, make sure you confirm details because there are often issues during pickups. Be prepared to have either a very small purse no bigger than 4.5" by 6.5" inches or a 12" by 12" clear bag. Don't try to get in with anything larger because you're not going to be getting in with it. There's a measuring template that everyone's bags get measured against at entry and if they exceed those sizes you're not bringing them in. Otherwise, there are lots of really good options for food and drinks and the venue itself has a really good vibe.

Went to Soldier Field to watch Coldplay perform. I'd never been to Soldier Field before, so just being there was awesome. Being 1 of 50,000 people in the stadium, it was an experience I'll remember for a lifetime.

When I was 3 years old for Christmas I got a red 🔥 fire truck 🚒 a brown teddy bear 🐻 and a Chicago bears helmet. I was breed a bears fan. 1985 was the best moment in sports history until MJ. Funny how things shape your. To this day. My favorite color is red. I wanted to be a fire fighter until i was an adult 🚒 I love the game of basketball and I am a die hard bears fan.....BEAR DOWN!!! Free tickets accepted everywhere the bears are 😂

Can I bring a small mini clear backpack to the BTS concert on May 12?

No, backpacks are not allowed.
For bts concert will they accept mobile tickets at Soldier Field?
Lovely Heartbeat | Jan 9, 2020
Alex Chirayath | Jan 10, 2020
As long as they are able to scan the code
Do you need a ID for bts concert if you are under 16?
Jacy Lette | Jan 9, 2020
박지원 | Jan 10, 2020
I dont think so but there could bw different rules. Check the stadiums’s rules. For the BTS concert in united center (im under 16) they didnt ask my mom not I for ID
Will lightsticks be supplied @ the BTS concert on May 11th???
Jadee | Jan 9, 2020
alexa tanner | Jan 10, 2020
Yes they will sell them along with their other merch. They usually have a seperate booth just for lightsticks too.
No purses or bags, other than clear plastic bags smaller than 12"x6"x12" are allowed into Soldier Field. Only clutch purses the size of your hand are permitted in.
LMAO, hilarious question my friend, I've been a fan since I was six years old and now I'm forty-two and still a due hard fan living in packer country. 😄
Ive only been once but that sounds very unusual. Trip protection shouldn't have anything to do with it. Try your best to confirm that you recieved exactly what you paid for.
I will be honest that I do not know enough about Internet ticket vendors (Vivid, StubHub, et al.) to give you a definitive answer. I am pretty sure that a venue such as Soldier Field would accept electronically purchased tickets on a smartphone, but don't quote me on this. Your safest bet is to call their telephone and ask which, if any, electronic ticket vendors Soldier Field accepts.
They were turning away people with purses.
There are new lockers, but they are located at 18th St.
Also, they were handing out Ziploc bags, so security could see through them.
In past years, we have brought in food, like 1 burger or bratwurst per dude.
Wallet, phone, keys, cigs & lighter were in my pockets, which they make you empty at the metal detectors. All were OK. Once the weather gets cold, they'll allow blankets.
No umbrellas.
It's best to lock everything in your car & be carrying minimal stuff.
Sad times that we love in, but unfortunately the truth.
They dont allow it on the parent pick up you have to leave the stadium and go somewhere else for uber pick up, thats how it was for me if you are going to a concert, but i think its the same for every event
I'm assuming you're asking what size lens you can bring into the stadium. Per the stadium website, cameras aren't permitted without proper media credentials; so lens's of any length would likely be included in that ban.
https://soldierfield.net/prohibited-Items
No outside food or drinks. No weapons. You will be searched before every bears game. I dont know about concerts but I would assume the same rules since it is part of the Citys Park district.

50usd flat rate
My daughter is 16 her friend is 14 and We only have 2 tickets can they get. In the concert without me or do I need to buy a ticket and does it habe to be in same section as them or can I buy a standing ticket
Brenda kelly | Jan 9, 2020
Miguel Romero Viquez | Jan 10, 2020
I don't think you will get tickets (at this moment) in the section you want.
But you can check the seller tickets sites on line to make sure.
I myself am a diabetic and there is never an issue with me taking medication into a stadium however I use metformin not sure how it works if you are taking in insulin.
I'm stressing out over parking for the BTS concert on May 12th. Any suggestions?
Jamie Brunner | Jan 9, 2020
Josh Mishkin | Jan 10, 2020
If you don't mind a short hike (less than a mile), you can find parking for under $10 using Spot Hero. Or just pay the $20-25 price for parking in the lots at Soldier Field.

Ellie | Jan 9, 2020
Shawn Lockhart | Jan 10, 2020
That's a good question

Xadia Williams | Jan 9, 2020
Farhana Reza | Jan 10, 2020
You should call them? But like they did not mention it in the prohibited items so I think you are okay if you are bringing them because I am bringing them also with pins on my bags.

Can I bring a clear mini backpack if it's within the dimensions of 12x6x12?? I know that clear regular-sized backpacks aren't allowed. Need to know for upcoming concert
Josie Turner | Jan 9, 2020
Dave Sularz | Jan 10, 2020
Probably not, unless it is medical
Are the Rolling Stones playing June 25???? What about Tickets???
Lisa Olson | Jan 9, 2020
Ryan Thompson | Jan 10, 2020
Yes they are playing that day. Tickets are available on sites now.
For the BTS concert, will they allow to Ted to be scanned electronically like on phones or does it have to be paper?
Kpop stories | Jan 9, 2020
David S | Jan 10, 2020
I don't know who Ted is, but I'm sure that he won't appreciate being scanned all night.
You should contact the stadium for specific answers, though
It's a medical device which ought to be allowed in the event you have a need. If they refuse you ought to file a lawsuit and complain to the DOJ regarding the ADA, and Illinois Attorney General office regarding Illinois Access code violations for resonable accomodations.
The event for May 11, is for all ages, but if my daughter's age is under 18, can they go along?
Lety Rojas | Jan 9, 2020
Habeeb Akhtar | Jan 10, 2020
If she's accompanied with adults, why not? Obviously you don't want to take your 10 years old to the concert, or do you?... That of course is a matter of concern!
Could you improve the accessibility of the stadium before games? The traffic managers block the entrance instead of facilitating the entrance to fans. Rideshare and taxis need easy access in and out.
My first game is December 9th. My tickets say enter south gate. What is my closest parking place to south gate entrance?Tyvm Ray
Ray LaGrange sr | Jan 9, 2019
Benzodiazepine Hammer | Jan 10, 2019
Orange lot (North Garage) is right under the Stadium. The Waldron lot is next closest just south of the stadium. Red lot (South Lot) is the next closest. Arrive early. Parking isn't a big problem but traffic and the security lines are. If you have club seats, do the Orange garage, it exits right by the club entrance.
I call Sodier Field Box Office they told me the open at 12:00pm The box office they told me to get there at around that time because the line get very long to pick up my tickets that's own will call Thanks, Jawann Samuel for your help and assistant. God Bless You
I am pretty sure truck deliveries are made on the East side of the stadium off of Museum Campus Drive. You will want to call the venue to confirm though.
My son is in a wheelchair but we got tickets for seat 5 & 6 on row 11 section 203 who do I talk to so I can get them changed to wheelchair seating? Also how much is parking?
Blanca Estrada | Jan 9, 2019
Oliver Mason | Jan 10, 2019
Ticket counter will let you know and parking ranges from free on up depending how far you want to walk. The main range is 15 to 20
Yes, for Bears games there is a bag check where you get off the shuddle bus on the south end of the stadium. I do believe that you have to pay for the service.
Because it is not owned by a company. It is owned by the McCasky family. Field name is to honor those serving and who have served in the US Armed Forces
I dont think so. Prohibited Items
The following items are not permitted to be brought into Soldier Field:
Alcoholic beverages
Any bag, case or purse other than the NFL approved clear bags (see "Bag Policy" below)
Balloons and beach balls
Cameras with lenses longer than 6" when fully extended
Cans, bottles or other beverage containers
