Related Photos From Soldier Field

The overhang of the second deck provides ample cover for a number of seats along the east sideline. This photo from Section 103 shows the upper rows of section 101 and others under cover. 
Shown here are the 200 level club seats - about half of which are covered by the 300 level. 
While covered seating is abundant on the lower east sideline, only the highest rows of the west sideline sections are under the overhang. Meanwhile, the entire Media Deck above the 100 level is completely covered. 
Looking down at the Media Deck on the west side of Soldier Field. These are widely considered some of the best seats for a Bears game due to their views of the field and being completely under cover. 
Some endzone sections at Soldier Field will be shaded. This photo shows the Colonnade seats in the South endzone where sections like 222-224 are completely shaded. 
The Media Deck is a seating area on the west side of Soldier Field in sections 228-246. These are among the best sections for being protected from the elements as the 300 level hangs over the seats. Related Questions
What sections are good for staying out of the sun at Soldier Field?
Answered by an RYS Expert · June 16, 2016In the 200 sections of the United Club, what rows get blocked by the overhang?
Answered by an RYS Expert · September 1, 2017The 200 level sections on the east side of Solider Field are part of the United Club. Given their amenities and benefits, these are among the most desirable - and expensive - tickets for a Bears game. These seats are especially attractive when the weather is unideal. The cover afforded to the back rows of these sections keeps them dry, out of the sun and less windy than other areas. Unfortunately, the same overhang that creates cover also creates challenges when it comes to seeing the field and the videoboards.

The view from row 15 in the section 215 For the clearest view of the field and videoboards, we recommend sitting in row 15 or below. The rows above these sections have a chopped-off view of the videoboards (or none at all), and a tunnel-vision view of the field.

Seeing the videoboard is possible from rows 15 and below For fans who want the best view in these sections, consider a seat in rows 1-9. Nowhere else in football can you find elevated seats like these so close to the field. To be fully protected from the elements and to be close to the climate-controlled United Club, sit in rows 16 and above. And for the best of both worlds, consider purchasing tickets in rows 10-15.
Do seats in Section 132, Row 14 at Soldier Field have any type of roof over them?
Answered by an RYS Expert · August 29, 2014
Covered seating on the west side of Soldier Field is found exclusively in the 200 level The 100 level sideline sections on the west side of the stadium (Sections 130 through 146) do not have any overhead coverage.
The best options in covered seating will be found in any row of the 200 level sections on the west side of the stadium (Sections 233 to 242), or in Rows 12 and higher in the 100 level sections on the east side of the stadium (Sections 105 to 113).
Which seats are covered?
Answered by an RYS Expert · March 1, 2019Covered seats at Soldier Field are few and far between, but not impossible to find. The 200 level on the West side of the stadium are the best bet for finding covered seats since almost all sections are located below the 300 level overhang. All rows in sections 232-242 will be covered and rows 8 or higher in sections 230, 231, 243, and 244 will be safe from any bad weather as well.
After that, look to the back rows in the 100 and 200 levels on the East side of the stadium. For the 100 level, rows 12 or higher will be protected in sections 104-114. For the 200 level, the overhang reaches to row 14 in sections 204-214.
For the best shade at Soldier Field you will want to look in the Media Deck sections along the west sideline (Sections 230 through 244). These seats have excellent overhead coverage and some of the best protection from the weather at Solider Field.
Endzone sections will see little in terms of relief from the sun during a midday game, so I would recommend looking elsewhere. If Media Deck seats are not an option, other good alternatives can be found in the back rows of Sections 105 through 113, where you will also find good overhead coverage.
