Soldier Field next summer.

I heard from a very reliable source (sorry can’t give it away) that PJ is playing Soldier Field this summer. 

Honestly, it doesn’t make any sense to me. Because they just played Chicago in 2023 and 2024. 

But it’s a very credible source. 

Anyone else hear anything?

    Aren't they tearing it down? Maybe they'll do the thing they did for the Spectrum? I live in Chicago so I'm there no matter what.

    Not tearing it down. The Bears are just looking for a new home. 

    I guess time will tell.

    Oasis, My Chemical Romance and System of a Down all in the same week (end) I believe.

    Obviously I'm not the most plugged in Bears fan lol. I just knew they were leaving. I figured they'd just take it down because the space is useful and a big empty stadium is pretty useless. But maybe they'll repurpose it. Whatever happens, if PJ plays there, I'll be there!

    It would be the 30th anniversary of the last time they played there!

    I’ll be there if this is true! I believe it was listed as a landmark before but lost that when they did the renovations a while back. Could be wrong though. Either way I don’t think they’d be tearing it down for a few more years if they do move

    Definitely preferred to Wrigley. 3 consecutive years is a little hard to believe though..

    The columns outside of the stadium are what’s landmark protected. That’s why they built the stadium inside of them back a few decades ago.

    I'd prefer Wrigley just because its easier to get in/out and theres stuff in the neighborhood. But I'll always take another Chicago show.

    I'm seeing more and more shows happen there. Oasis, System of a Down and Avenged Sevenfold.... It would be neat, but when was the last time PJ played a NFL stadium...?

    Ah thanks for the correction. As a lifelong Chicagoan my Bears knowledge is pretty shameful since I’m not much of a football fan. I agree with RatherStarved though, Soldier Field wouldn’t be my first choice to see them here. Passed on paying $$$ to sit in the 400s for Metallica at Soldier Field. I also think Wrigley has run its course as well. Give me the United Center everytime.
