2020 Soldier Field Parking Program for Chicago Bears Games
Premium Parking Renewal
GENERAL INFORMATION
If last season you purchased Premium Parking passes for Bears games played at Soldier Field you may renew these passes for the 2020 Chicago Bears season. The deadline to notify us of your desire to renew your Premium Parking passes for this season is 10:00 p.m. (CDT) on Friday, May 29th. Except for the addition of a limited number of Premium Parking spaces in the Burnham Harbor lot, the 2020 Premium Parking pass process is similar to the one that was used in the Soldier Field Parking Program for Bears games last season.
The cost of season Premium Parking at the South Lot, the East Museum Lot, the Adler Lot, and the Burnham Harbor Lot (new this season) for the ten (10) Bear home games – including two (2) pre-season games and eight (8) regular season games is $1,100.00, plus a $16.50 Administrative Service Fee (a total cost of $1,1116.50). When you log into the Parkmobile web site and request to renew your season Premium Parking Passes, NO PAYMENT will be charged at that time. You will receive an e-mail from Parkmobile confirming your request to purchase Premium Parking passes for the 2020 Chicago Bears season has been recorded.
When you register to renew your Premium Parking passes for this season, the website will ask you to identify your preferred parking Premium Parking lot. Parkmobile will endeavor to reassign you to park at the facility that you requested, but if they are unable to do so, you will be assigned privileges at the same facility where you parked last season. Parkmobile will send an e-mail to everyone that has renewed their Premium Parking passes for the 2020 season by no later than Tuesday, June 1st to notify them which facility they have been assigned to park at for this season.
Approximately 7 to 14 days prior to the Bears first home game you will be emailed payment and pass printing directions. Once your payment has been processed you will be able to access your twelve (12) parking passes. Season pass customers will need to print the appropriate pass and bring that pass with them to each game. The twelve (12) parking passes will include one (1) pass for each of two (2) pre-season games, one (1) pass for each of eight (8) regular season games, one (1) pass for a possible Conference Playoff game and one (1) pass for a possible Conference Championship game.
Mismanagement or improper duplication of parking passes can lead to revocation of your season passes and/or make you ineligible for future parking programs.
Your season Premium Parking cost does NOT include the parking cost of any potential post-season games. In the event the Bears host a post-season game (or games); additional payment will be required for these games. We will advise all season parking pass holders of playoff parking payment options (cash, credit card, online, etc.) in advance of any home playoff game.
