2020 Vision | Gold Cup memories have Bornstein hyped for Soldier Field return

"The Feilhaber game, correct?"

"Yep, that was the Feilhaber goal. An amazing, amazing experience."

Jonathan Bornstein recalls the memory of his lone playing appearance at Chicago's Soldier Field.

It's a fond one, to say the least.

In front of 60,000 fans, the then 22-year-old Bornstein started and played 90 minutes in the 2007 Gold Cup final -- a 2-1 victory for the U.S. Men's National Team over rival Mexico.

"The atmosphere was amazing," he said. "The experience was great. Hopefully we can replicate that here. I think everyone in the Club and hopefully the fans and everyone in the city is excited for the Fire to return to Soldier Field.
