About this listen

 Soldier Field, built in the 1920s on Chicago's lakefront, symbolizes the city’s cultural evolution and commemorates fallen soldiers. Initially a neoclassical memorial, it hosted diverse events from sports to civic gatherings. Controversial renovations in the early 2000s modernized the stadium but altered its historic architecture, leading to loss of landmark status. Despite criticism, Soldier Field remains a key Chicago icon, blending rich history with contemporary design.
