Football Review
Section 428, Row 27, Seats 6-10

★★★★★

While these seats require alot of stairs, it was a pretty great view of the the field/stadium. It was hard to see when everyone in front of us was standing but I think thats the case anywhere? Lots of food on the concourse right by us as well as close restrooms.

• 400 Level Grandstand (Concert)

  -

  Home to some of the furthest views of the stage and largest seating sections, the 400 Level Grandstand is best suited for fans looking for a cheap ticket for a concert at Soldier Field. Your best bet at a decent view for an end stage performance comes in the first 5 rows of sections 439-440, which keep you closer to the action while avoiding an extreme side angle view.As you move further south than section 436, the views are noticeably distant and you will be best off just going with the most affordable option among sections 427-435 and saving a bit more money for another round of beverages.Sections here are the largest of any at Soldier Field, with most featuring 37 numbered rows of seats. Entry tunnels are located just beneath row 1, so be prepared for long difficult walks to and from the concourse if sitting in rows 15 and higher.

• 400 Level Grandstand (Football)

  -

  With the highest and furthest views of any seating area at Soldier Field, the 400 Level Grandstand sections are the best place to find cheap Bears tickets. Better gameday experiences can be found elsewhere, but for fans working with a tighter budget these sections offer a decent place to be if you can find seats in the first 15 rows.Sections here range between 32 to 37 rows of seating in each, with smaller sections located near the corners and the largest sections being closest to midfield.

• 400 Level Sideline (Soccer)

  -

  Located on the west side of the stadium, the 400 level sideline is the largest seating section at Soldier Field and is rarely opened for a soccer match. These sections are massive with up to 37 rows. Fans will enter the sections from the bottom, so fans with higher rows can expect a long walk and a lot of steps to their seats.

• Grandstand Seats

  -

  When looking at theSoldier Field seating chart, one of the largest collections of seats is called the Grandstands. This area is made up of sections 427-447 and some also consider 330-344 part of the Grandstands.400 Level Grandstand SeatsThe cheapest tickets for Bears games and concerts are typically found in the 400 Level. This is an expansive area that offers a wildly different experience (and climate) depending on where you sit.Rows in each Grandstand section are numbered. Row 1 is the first row in most sections - and is also the row where you enter each section.We strongly urge guests to purchase tickets in the lowest row possible (if the budget allows). Here's why:Each section is accessed by a staircaseEven getting to row 1 requires a climbThere are up to 37 rows in each sectionThe top rows require a 50-stair hikeRestroom and concession breaks can be a 20-minute round-trip from the topThe front rows are about 50 rows from the fieldThe back rows are nearly 90 rows from the fieldWe also advise guests to avoid edge sections on windy days. Sections like 427-429 and 445-447 are heavily exposed to the elements. Sit more towards the middle or be prepared for a cold afternoon.300 Level Grandstand SeatsWhile 400 Level Grandstand sections can turn into a nightmare if you pick the wrong seats, it's hard to find a bad seat in sections 330-344 for a football game.There are 15 or fewer rows in each section and the entrance to each section is located at the top row. Whether you're in the first or last row, you'll be 30-45 rows from the field - a sweet spot for football games and large stadium concerts.Among all Grandstand sections, 335-338 are the best for a concert. These sections have a comfortable angle to the stage without being too far away.Grandstand Sections NotesThese sections are typically closed for Chicago Fire matchesWhen seated and facing the field, Grandstand sections on the right side will be shaded firstAccessible seating is available in the 300 LevelThe 400 Level requires stairs and is not accessible
