Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data

Buildings the Fire have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former stadium or an earlier naming-rights label.

Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1998—a data-coverage year marking the Fire's inaugural MLS season.

Chicago Fire FC play home matches at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Central time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former stadium or an earlier name of the same building.

Rebuild your Fire FC history

The Fire's venues tell the story of transformation: Soldier Field (1998–2001) was the original home. The 2002–2003 Soldier Field renovation forced a temporary move to North Central College in Naperville. The Fire then relocated to suburban Bridgeview and the soccer-specific SeatGeek Stadium (2006–2019). In 2020, the team returned downtown to the renovated Soldier Field. Rebuilding Fire FC attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, stadium names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended matches is enough to start matching opponents and stadiums. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.

  • Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
  • Email receipts and order confirmations
  • Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
  • Calendar entries and season-ticket records
  • Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
  • Soldier Field early era clues (1998–2001)—original home
  • North Central College clues (2002–2003)—temporary home during renovation
  • SeatGeek Stadium and Toyota Park clues (2006–2019)—suburban era
  • Soldier Field nights (2020–present)—downtown return after renovation

What your Fire FC archive unlocks

Once you've logged Fire matches you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include the downtown Soldier Field era, the Bridgeview suburban years, and the return home in 2020.

Add Fire matches from memory, import a spreadsheet, or scan ticket stubs.

Ticket Timeline matches MLS match context and stats

Home stands and road trips for Fire FC fans

Whether you mostly see the Fire at Soldier Field or traveled for matches in Bridgeview or on the road, Ticket Timeline keeps home and away attendance in one timeline—opponents, stadiums, and the nights you actually attended.

A memory worth recovering

If you watched Fire matches during the Bridgeview era, attended the 2002–2003 temporary home in Naperville, or caught the early downtown Soldier Field years, those tickets name buildings and eras that shaped Fire history. Or if your stub says Soldier Field post-2020, you can still build context around those nights and the team's return home.
