Rebuild your Bears history
Soldier Field (1924–present) has been home to the Bears since the team's founding era, though it underwent a major renovation that began in January 2002 and was completed September 29, 2003. The Bears relocated to Memorial Stadium in Champaign for the 2002 season during the renovation. Rebuilding Bears 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 games 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.
