"Bear down," has been the rallying cry of the past few seasons of Chicago Bears football, thanks to changes in management as well as the lineup of players on the field. But no matter how tough the season gets, crowds still flock to Soldier Field each weekend to fill the stands and stake out tailgating spots in the parking lot. Located in the South Loop, amid some of the city's best museums, the stadium will be just as packed this fall as the Bears set off in search of their first Super Bowl championship since 2016.
