Iconic Illinois Stadium Hosting “Big Game” Watch Party & Fan Fest

If you're looking for something special to do this year for the "big game," the NFL is hosting fan fest watch parties throughout the league stadiums including in Chicago.

Soldier Field To Host Fan Fest For The "Big Game" This Year

The Chicago Bears have been in two Super Bowls. I was lucky enough to attend both. Of course, their first one was legendary because it was that infamous 1985 team. It's funny because they were both completely different experiences.

Super Bowl XX was all about the game. There weren't all the other activities. The halftime show was "Up With People." It was in New Orleans so all the fans just hung out on Bourbon Street that weekend.

Their second trip was more like the modern-day game. There were NFL-sponsored events, concerts, and activities all week long leading up to the game. It was more about the occasion than the actual game.

One of my favorite parts of that game in Miami was Fan Fest. It was such a cool event. Many current and former NFL stars attended the event. There was food, beverages, live music, and tons of activities.

This year, the NFL is bringing Fan Fest nationwide. Each team's stadium will host their own event. Plus, it's a watch party for the "Big Game." The Bears will be hosting their party at Soldier Field. That's going to be so cool.

I've been to Soldier Field for other NFL-related events and it's always a good time. For this Fan Fest in Chicago, you'll also have a chance to check out lots of Bear-themed events and a chance to meet players too.
