Chicago
Inside The Stadium
Opened in 1924, Soldier Stadium was built as a memorial to fallen American soldiers. The Bears have a loyal fan base that even tailgate in the snow. Soldier Stadium has a lot of great food. Gyros, popcorn chicken, bratwursts and salad jars are all popular choices. You can also find unique options such as Pork & Mindy’s pig candy where you can get candied bacon or bacon brittle. Just make sure you pace yourself accordingly as there are a lot of things to try here.
Throughout The City
Chicago is a city that certainly won’t disappoint any football fan. Art on the Mart is a pretty popular attraction for both tourists and locals. You can see works of four different artists that are each displayed on projectors five nights a week. After this two hour show, there is a fireworks display that takes place. If you can, go on an Odyssey Cruise while you are in Chicago. You can see a nice view of the Chicago River while enjoying live music.
San Francisco
Inside The Stadium
Levi’s Stadium is certainly unforgettable. The scoreboard lights are very bright and you can just feel the energy while here. If you do happen to visit this stadium, make sure you check out the massive statues of Joe Montana and Dwight Clark. They weigh 350 pounds and are very memorable. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn’t really any shade here, so if you will be visiting the stadium during the day to catch a game, make sure you wear a hat and put on plenty of sunblock.
