2021 Soldier Field Parking Program for Chicago Bears Games
Premium Parking Space Sales
GENERAL INFORMATION
You may bypass the Random Selection Process used to select Bears’ season ticket holders eligible to purchase season parking passes at a facility in the immediate vicinity of Soldier Field by purchasing season Premium Parking passes now for the South Lot, or at the Adler Lot for Chicago Bears’ games during the 2020 NFL season. Except for a change to the pass printing & distribution, this process is similar to the one that was used in the Soldier Field Parking Program for Bears games last season.
Beginning this season, all parking passes will be e-mailed to customers. Season pass customers will need to print and bring the appropriate pass with them to the game. Parking booklets will no longer be printed and mailed. With the ability to print the passes yourself, the ability to transfer the passes to someone else if you choose not to attend a game will become more convenient.
Reservations for the purchase of season Premium Parking passes will be approved and processed on a first come, first serve basis. Once a parking facility is listed as “SOLD OUT”, please check back at a later time to see if more Premium Parking has been made available.
The cost of season Premium Parking at the South Lot, or at the Adler Lot for the ten (10) games – including two (2) pre-season games and eight (8) regular season games is $1,100.00, plus a $18.50 Administrative Service Fee (a total cost of $1,118.50). You will receive an e-mail from Parkmobile confirming your purchase once the purchase process has been completed.
Additional 2021 Parking Program Details
