Book Synopsis
Sports fans nationwide know Soldier Field as the home of the Chicago Bears. For decades its signature columns provided an iconic backdrop for gridiron matches, but few realize that the stadium has been much more than that. This title explores how this amphitheater evolved from a public war memorial into a majestic arena that helped define Chicago.

Trade Review
"Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park may attract more attention, but neither has hosted as many historic events as Soldier Field. Ford's Soldier Field reveals how Chicago's iconic amphitheater is more than a football field; it serves as a unique portal into Chicago's social, political, and cultural history." - Timothy J. Gilfoyle, author of Millennium Park: Creating a Chicago Landmark"
