Chicago Bears Tailgate Charter & Soldier Field Game Day Bus
Soldier Field is one of the great Chicago Bears home venues — and the tailgate scene at the South Lot and Waldron Deck is the real show. Grills lit hours before kickoff, Bears colors on every crew, and Lake Shore Drive and I-90/94 Kennedy bottleneck traffic that guarantees a party bus beats driving separately every single time.

Why Bears Tailgate Groups Choose Unlimited Charters
Soldier Field Access
Direct experience with Soldier Field parking, the South Lot and Waldron Deck, and the charter-lot rules. We've dropped groups at Gate 0 or Gate 14 more times than we can count.
Book 10-12 Weeks Out
Bears rivalry games (Green Bay Packers, prime-time matchups, playoff weekends) sell out the tailgate-grade vehicle pool 10-12 weeks in advance. Lock in early.
Licensed & Insured
Every chauffeur CDL-licensed, every vehicle DOT-inspected and commercially insured. Certificate of insurance available for corporate suite groups and season-ticket-holder blocks.
Dispatch on Game Day
Real person on the phone if pickup runs late, if Lake Shore Drive and I-90/94 Kennedy bottleneck traffic backs up, if the post-game lot empty-out takes 2 hours instead of 1. We adjust the booked hours in real time.
Cargo + Climate Control
Real cargo space for coolers, grills, tents, cornhole. Climate control for Chicago, IL weather — whether it's an 85° opener or a chilly late-season game. Sound system to keep Bears energy up on the drive.
8-Hour Package Pricing
Standard Bears game-day package covers pre-game tailgate, in-stadium hours, and post-game (add hours for a sports-bar detour). All-in price = driver, fuel, insurance, gratuity, taxes. No surprises.
About Chicago Bears Tailgate Transportation
The Chicago Bears home game at Soldier Field is one of the great football experiences — and it gets exponentially better when the crew arrives together, the coolers stay cold, and nobody has to designate a sober driver at Bears' home game. A Bears tailgate party bus solves the three problems every group organizer hits: Soldier Field parking that runs $60-100+ per car (more on Green Bay Packers weekends), designated-driver selection (nobody in a group of loyal Bears fans wants to skip the beer), and the post-game rideshare cluster when Lake Shore Drive and I-90/94 Kennedy bottleneck traffic hits surge-pricing hell.
Unlimited Charters operates a vetted network of party-bus and charter carriers with direct experience at Soldier Field. Whether you're a 14-person work crew, a 30-person fantasy reunion, a 40-person corporate suite group, or a 56-person motor coach for a divisional playoff weekend — we've moved the crew, we know the South Lot and Waldron Deck, and we know where to drop you at Gate 0 or Gate 14 without the walk.
Soldier Field — Tailgating & Stadium Info
Stadium: Soldier Field (Soldier Field), Chicago, IL. Home to the Chicago Bears with 9 home games per season.
Tailgate lots: Soldier Field lots (South Lot, North Garage, Waldron Deck, Adler Planetarium) fill hours before kickoff; the campus becomes a full tailgate universe. The premier tailgate scene is at the South Lot and Waldron Deck — fills 5-6 hours before kickoff for regular-season games, 10+ hours before Green Bay Packers rivalry games.
Game-day traffic: Lake Shore Drive and I-90/94 Kennedy bottleneck, plus most home games are sellouts. Post-game exit typically takes 60-90 minutes to clear. Your driver knows the back-way routes.
Best drop-off/pickup gate: Gate 0 or Gate 14 for pre-game walk-in, and the same gate area for post-game pickup — we coordinate the specific spot with your group leader 48 hours before kickoff.
Fan culture note: Bears fans have tailgated at Soldier Field since 1971 — Italian beef, Chicago-style dogs, and 'Bear Down' chants echoing across the Museum Campus with the skyline as the backdrop.

- 20-passenger party bus — friend group, small fantasy league, small corporate suite. $1,900-$2,600.

- 40-passenger mini-coach — extended family + friends, big corporate group. $2,800-$3,400.

Per-person math: a 30-person group splitting a $2,700 party bus pays $90/person — usually cheaper than $60-100 parking + Uber both ways with surge pricing.

“30 of us from Chicago packed a 30-pax party bus for a Sunday-night Bears game. Driver rolled us into the tailgate lot at 10 AM, we tailgated 5 hours, watched the Bears win, driver was at Gate 0. Cheaper than 8 Ubers with surge from the burbs.”— Mike R., Naperville, IL
“14 clients from a Chicago company for a Bears Monday Night Football game. 14-pax executive Sprinter, chilled drinks, driver in a button-down, VIP entrance drop. Certificate of insurance for our compliance team. Everything checked the boxes.”— Lauren M., Chicago, IL
“22 of us from Naperville for the Bears-Packers game. One party bus, 45 minutes each way, tailgate at the premier lot, driver was a pro. Way easier than 4 carloads of Chicagoans on the highway with post-game traffic.”— Kevin D., Milwaukee, WI
