Media Deck at Soldier Field

• Where it is: Second level of Soldier Field, sections 228–246.
• Best shade in the house: Widely regarded as the best-shaded seats at Soldier Field, with the strongest overhead coverage near midfield.
• Home side for Bears: This is the home sideline for Bears games, at an ideal height for seeing over the sideline players.
• Concert caveat: For most concerts, the stage sits on the North end—skip sections 241–246 for their poor angle to the stage.

Who Should Sit Here

This zone is built for fans who want a comfortable, covered seat with a full view of the action. If you're attending on a hot day, in the rain, or when snow threatens, the overhead coverage makes Media Deck the smart pick. It suits Bears fans wanting the home side and Fire supporters who value an elevated, end-to-end sightline.

Media Deck Location & Layout

Media Deck spans sections 228–246 on the stadium's second level. Each section carries 6 to 12 rows, with the smaller sections positioned closest to midfield.

What You'll See

For Bears games, you're on the home side of the field with a great view of the whole field, and the seating height makes it easy to see over the players on the sideline. The same holds for Chicago Fire matches, where the elevation makes it easy to follow the play end to end. For most concerts, the stage is set on the North end per the Soldier Field Seating Chart. In that configuration, sections 241–246 have a poor angle to the stage.

Beating the Heat

The sections closest to midfield have excellent overhead coverage. On a hot day, sections 232–242 are ideal for staying out of the sun, and they'll keep you dry when rain or snow is in the forecast.
