Reviews for Soldier Field
"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"
