300 Level Grandstand (Concert)
-The 300 Level Grandstand sections are located on the lower portion of the upper seating tier along the west sideline at Soldier Field. While these seats may appear far on a seating chart, the sections here actually extend almost completely over the Media Deck seats above providing decent views if you are lucky enough to find seats in the first few rows. For a traditional end stage performance, seats in the lower rows of sections 340-341 are a good place to seek out a decent view at an affordable price. But we recommend being cautious if searching in the first 3 rows of section 340 (and sections 336 and 333 also) as camera wells located just to the left can impact your view from the lower numbered seats. Entry tunnels are located at the top of these 15 row sections, so while the lowest rows have the furthest walks from the concourse, the difference in view is certainly worth it. And as these seats face toward the east, you can find decent shade starting in the late afternoon for a daytime performance.
300 Level Grandstand (Football)
-Located at the front of the upper seating deck on the west sideline, the 300 Level Grandstand sections offer great value for fans that want a sideline view at Soldier Field. As the sections here provide complete overhead coverage for the 200 level Media Deck seats below, they extend close to the field for great views (especially in Sections 335-339 which are right near midfield). With just 15 rows of seating in most sections, fans here will never be too far from the concourse for trips to the restrooms and concessions. Handicap accessible seating is also available in the top rows of Sections 332 and 336.
300 Level Sideline (Soccer)
-Sections 330-344 offer great sideline views of soccer matches at Soldier Field. These sections are not club sections like their equivalents on the east side of the stadium. Fans sitting in this location will share a concourse with the 400 levels above. Sections have 15 rows each. Each row has around 18 seats with seat 1 starting on the left side of the section.
Grandstand Seats
-When looking at the Soldier Field seating chart, one of the largest collections of seats is called the Grandstands. This area is made up of sections 427-447 and some also consider 330-344 part of the Grandstands. 400 Level Grandstand Seats The cheapest tickets for Bears games and concerts are typically found in the 400 Level. This is an expansive area that offers a wildly different experience (and climate) depending on where you sit. Rows in each Grandstand section are numbered. Row 1 is the first row in most sections - and is also the row where you enter each section. We strongly urge guests to purchase tickets in the lowest row possible (if the budget allows). Here's why: Each section is accessed by a staircase Even getting to row 1 requires a climb There are up to 37 rows in each section The top rows require a 50-stair hike Restroom and concession breaks can be a 20-minute round-trip from the top The front rows are about 50 rows from the field The back rows are nearly 90 rows from the field We also advise guests to avoid edge sections on windy days. Sections like 427-429 and 445-447 are heavily exposed to the elements. Sit more towards the middle or be prepared for a cold afternoon. 300 Level Grandstand Seats While 400 Level Grandstand sections can turn into a nightmare if you pick the wrong seats, it's hard to find a bad seat in sections 330-344 for a football game. There are 15 or fewer rows in each section and the entrance to each section is located at the top row. Whether you're in the first or last row, you'll be 30-45 rows from the field - a sweet spot for football games and large stadium concerts. Among all Grandstand sections, 335-338 are the best for a concert. These sections have a comfortable angle to the stage without being too far away.
