Renovated in 2003, Soldier Field now has more than 50 wheelchair spaces in a variety of locations and prices. Tickets for accessible seating are available on an individual game basis from the ticket office and Ticketmaster. If the latter has exhausted its allocation, the person with a disability should purchase conventional seating and then call the ADA Coordinator at 312-235-7000 to arrange an exchange for accessible seating. Anyone wanting to exhange his or her ticket for a wheelchair seat must enter via Gate 10.
