All the nostalgia in the world can’t disguise the fact that Soldier Field is a grotesque football stadium.

Soldier Field is a terrible football stadium. Let’s get that out of the way right now.

It might be iconic. It might be on the lake. It might be where your grandpa took you to see Mac Percival and Bob Pifferini do their thing. But please leave nostalgia at the front desk. And don’t forget that the Bears played at Wrigley Field until 1971.

Soldier Field is a ridiculous 10-pound alien toilet seat crammed into a five-pound box.
