Soldier Field Provides Ample Parking for Sightseers

Guest Post

You don’t need to be a graduate of a top ranked university to assemble a smart parking strategy in Chicago when visiting for the day.  If you’re spending time in the Windy City on any day but when the Bears are playing in town, then Soldier Field is undoubtedly one of the best places to park your car.

By resisting the urge to use your Capital One Venture miles to travel to Chicago with your family, you may think you’re going to pay a fortune in daily parking when going from sight to sight.  But by starting at Soldier Field and working your way into the city, such expense can easily be avoided.

Here’s what you do.  Park at Soldier Field for about $10 and walk across the street to the Field Museum, which should definitely be on your list of places to visit.  Once you’ve had your fair share of fun there, head over to the Shedd Aquarium which is situated right behind the Field Museum on the lake front.   From there you can take a bus up Lake Shore Drive to the Navy Pier.

From the Navy Pier, you can take a bus back down south to Randolph Street, where two blocks west you can hop on the El train which can take you to within blocks of virtually any Chicago destination.  Chances are you’ll want to visit the Willis Tower among other downtown attractions, all of which will by this point be south of you.

Eventually you can complete a full circle, getting off the El at the Randolph street station you initially left from and taking a bus back down to Soldier Field.  All the while your automobile stayed in the same spot and not once were you harassed by a parking attendant in some seedy lot to use your no foreign transaction fee credit card.

Just remember to avoid Soldier Field on game days, unless you plan on becoming a Bears fan by force. 🙂 – Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo guide
