Chicago Bears
"New Soldier Field"
Framed Panoramic
(3 variations available)
- Technically, the Chicago Bears Soldier Field is the oldest field still in use by the NFL today, although it hardly looks that way. 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 formal dedication as Soldier Field was on Saturday, November 27, 1926, during the 29th annual playing of the Army vs Navy game. It was not until September 1971 that the Chicago Bears made it their home, moving from Wrigley Field. The famous Stadium reopened on September 29, 2003, after a complete rebuild (hence "New" Soldier Field).

You can see the action on the field, the entourages on the sidelines, the fans in the stands, the unique design of the new grandstands built on top of the old bowl, and the Chicago skyline peeking up above the North end bleachers.
