History Tour of Soldier Field

- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2014
- Soldier Field has a rich history in the city of Chicago. The iconic stadium on the lakefront serves as a memorial to American soldiers who have died in wars. It was designed in 1919 and opened on October 9, 1924, as Municipal Grant Park Stadium, changing its name to Soldier Field on November 11, 1925. In September 1971 the Chicago Bears made Soldier Field their home.
Soldier Field may be one of the smallest stadiums, but damn, it's still historic and beautiful. I Love Soldier Field and I Love Da Bears !!
👋 Cheap Thrills Hi there, Yeah baby! You got that right. 👊GO BEARS!👊 • ❤🐻❤ (😎😷🙋✌)
GO CHICAGO BEARS 💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡🏈🐻⬇️
No Lori beetleJuice has destroyed the city and the bears are moving
I love soldier field but I don’t think they should have renovated it. It makes it less historic.
Yes ur right
@@personinspace4286 i think it was fucking stupid. without that landmark designation, the stadium can be destroyed without any problem whatsoever
They should have renovated it but not like that. Look at Wrigley Field there able to renovate it while keeping its history
@@0fficialdregs landmarks get demolished all the time, the designation actually makes it harder to find uses and makes it more likely for it to become abandoned.
@@penskepc2374 and you're telling m something i already know
no matter if a giant spaceship landed in the middle of the stadium, no matter if it lost it's status as a national landmark, no matter if you're a bears fan or not, you must always respect soldier field for it's history, its name, and the team that plays there, i am an eagles fan saying this, soldier field is the greatest stadium in the country, along with the los angeles memorial coliseum, but at least soldier field will keep its name, especially not name it after an airline that assaults passengers and defends their actions.
I love Soldier Field!!!!
No it's not. Lambeau Field will ALWAYS be more historic and a better stadium. Atleast it doesn't injure countless players with its shitty surface
@@c.l.freeman7654 Lambeau Field was opened in 1957, Soldier in 1924, how is that more historic?
What kinda of drugs are you on ?
@@wanderthroughhistory What kind of dumb reply is that?
I marched at Soldier Field once. Wonderful place.
I think they forgot one important historical landmark, the opening ceremony for the 1994 world cup.
From 110,000 to the smallest capacity in the NFL. I wouldn't really call that an upgrade.
Stop being such a judgmental bitch, it was built in 1971
moron, there aren't as many people who go to football games anymore. Less empty seats. HUGE UPGRADE.
URUSOIMI Not necessarily true football attendance as a whole is way up from were it was when the Bears moved to Soldier Field.Lots of teams barley ever sold out,now most teams have 85-90% capacity for their game,that's just greed to take the seats out and make artificial scarcity for tickets.
Dude, It's pretty overwhelming, if you're trying to seat 100,000 people.
then theres the chargers lol
Thanks very much for this! Growing up over in Michigan, I always wanted to pay my respects to the stadium and absolutely catch a Bears game. Perhaps that day will come. Thanks again for posting and be safe 🙏
GO BEARS!!! and one major reason i love Soldier Field is it's long time dedication and patriotism toward all veterans of the United States from which i happen to be a Veteran myself started off with the United States Marine Corps in 1991-1994 ended up years Later in the U.S. Air Force at Vandenberg U.S. Air Force Base in my home state of CA from 2005 to 2008.
👋 Soldier Field ♡ Hi there, 🐻GO BEARS!!🐻 💕THAT'S MY KIND OF TOWN, CHICAGO IS.💕 ♡ (😎😷🙋✌)
I LOVE MY CITY CHICAGO AND MY PEOPLE OF CHICAGO 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙⬇️🐻🏈
damn i wish i was born and able to see all the cool shit happen there back in the day lol
I love bears we love you chicago
Its definitely on my bucket list to see the Bears play at Soldier Field but its such a shame the modern version looks so poor. The fact they have compromised the look of the stadium yet it is now one of the smallest stadiums in the NFL is mind boggling
rokerroar It is also o my bucket list so I can watch my packers play your bears and watch the bears lose
Love the hockey game footage & fireworks at the end.
Insufficient Super Bowl capacity is ok; Chicago weather unsuitable, anyway.
But an artificial playing surface is needed. The ground under Soldier Field is always saturated, probably due to proximity to Lake Michigan. The most durable sod on earth won't stand up to that, so grass always torn up, with dangerous footing.
Nice design nothing like it
and now the Chicago Fire are back at Soldier Field!!!
What a place to watch a bears football game.in section 443 u can look out at the lakefront.just a awsome place.ill hate it if they leave.i like going into the city for a bear game
Your stadium will go down in history Irish history the very same week your bears won the super bowl we played world champions New Zealand the all blacks we never beat them before 111 years but it took 111. Years to get new Zealand to play us in soldier field the Irish anthem in English is singing the soldiers song you could feel it when we sang our anthem we sing the soldiers song in soldier field we won that game before it started the soldier field was graced with the soldiers song we weren't letting them done thank you and your great city
Ill tell you this it can get very loud in there.Being a bears city it would be sad to see them leave for the burbs
I was hoping that the name, Gale Sayers, would be mentioned... even if briefly.
We were in Wrigley Field until 1971, so that's probably why. Still, Gale Sayers is a legend, but it's about Soldier Field. Great mini doc!
Chicago..city of the wind..I love ya
We got love for ditka in Baton Rouge Louisiana when he was the Saints coach he had trout amandine at a restaurant here and fell in love with it he’d hit the interstate and tip everybody then just head on back to no
The house Payton built
Shadow 70 The house that Cutler made awful
Really cool documentary. Thanks for sharing
It’s not the same since the renovation
Steven Farnesi it was also on my bucket list i went last season it was an awesome experience
Starting for Chicago 💯 🐻💯💯💯
Stay in soldier field !!!
This place was a real Action Park.
The original Special Olympics? Don't they play Sunday's during the fall?
4:49 lmfao nooo fucking way thats the best left hook in history
I was looking for this 😂
#OTF
6:43 Fred Estaire? I am sure you meant Fred Astaire.
The old stadium looked cooler
"Bringing a super bowl here" You mean a Lombardi trophy?
Brent W Which you only have 1 this year, the trophy's coming home where it started in Green Bay
The stadium in its current state is too small to host a super bowl
lol
Had they not rebuilt Soldier Field, Chicago would have lost not only their football team, but they would have lost their prestigious rivalry with the Packers(my team)
Why u say that
Yeah, that's B.S. The Bears and Chicago is like peanut butter & jelly
9:56 holy shit so many people
Doesn't appear there's anything about the car racing that took place there. They raced on an oval built around the football field. The crowds & car count were so big they raced two nights a week. Several drivers who started out there went on to NASCAR. Fred Lorenzen was a two-time USAC National Champion on the way.
USAC championship was a much much bigger deal than being in NASCAR back then. Championship car racing was a much bigger deal in general in America up until the 90s.
Yet it'll NEVER hold the mystique or legend of the real class of NFL history, Lambeau Field
You’re nuts, remember cheesehead who started the league. I’ll spell it for you numbnuts H A L A S. He also saved you crap team from being ejected from the league & put up his own $ ( why idk) to bail you’re asses out. Oh Lombardi was a fat sausage chewing wino who really didn’t innovate like papa bear he just drilled ( like dog training) simple Simon crap to a bunch of retards. All facts. Big deal I hate Green Bay I’m a lifer bears fan from Chicago & I don’t appreciate jerks like you pissing on my team or their home field.
2019 anyone
@ultra tajin kid yaa army
YoonMinly 2020.
Go bears
Go Pack Go
Could have remodeled it like the packers
End zone extension looks awful
GO CHICAGO BEARS BEAR DOWN
Please Stay in Chi-Town Bears.
I love Soldier Field but the bears need an upgrade. Chicago should tear down Soldier Field and rebuild a modern stadium with a retractable roof or a dome in the same area so Chicago can host Final 4s, National Championships, Wrestlemanias, NBA All Star Weekends, and Super Bowls. There’s other historic stadiums that’s been replaced over the years. Candlestick Park, Yankee Stadium, etc have been replaced in recent years. Nothing last forever. In 2050, are the bears going to still be at Soldier Field? We should get a bigger, modern stadium because it’s a new era for the Bears and you’d want more fans to be able to watch the bears live. We seem to have finally got our qb in the draft. Let’s get more fans in a new stadium to cheer for our qb and have more people make noise to disrupt opposing offenses and backup the strong defenses Chicago is known to put on the field.
Why have they not brought a WrestleMania here? They let the small stupid little Rosemont Horizon have it three times
Because wrestling is fake .
@@cheapthrills716 you're fake! A what stupid response this was !!
@@Davidjon1946 How am I fake ? So I suppose your name is The Blow Job Buffalo Cowboy ? lol anyway moron, on the other hand if you believe that WrestleMania is real, then you're dumber than what you seem fucktard. lol
Worst Idea ever. They should have been patient like GB did and added on to the original structure.. But hell its been like 16+ years
Lambeau looks worse than this now
eagles bears tommorow
titans bears tomorrow
