I was here for Beyonce's concert! OMG the walk to enter and exit was so long! The field is huge! I heard there were over 60K attendees so imagine how crowded to get in and out. They are very strict with bringing clear bags and no water even factory sealed. I read on their website you can bring one but they had us throw away ours.it is about 7.99 for a water and they take out the cover. overall experience was nice there are really no bad seats. parking i suggest get an uber or get on the train. read more

A little bit of a walk. But easy to get to stadium and easy to get out of. Also it easy to find as it sits between McCormick and the stadium

An absolute disaster by the City of Chicago in event planning and traffic control, last night after the Ed Sheeran concert, in Soldier Field. City workers shut down the 18th street exit ramp from Columbus Drive thus making it impossible to get to the lot. This caused a major traffic nightmare of a bottleneck that ran from Roosevelt Rd to I-55. A 6 minute trip to the Soldier Field South Lot took over 60 minutes. Concert attendees were scattered all over the place trying to get rides homes after the concert which ended at 10:45pm but traffic was snarled until 1:00am! read more

Realistically this is a big parking lot...pretty exciting, right? But 4th of July weekend, 2015 it was Shakedown St. for three glorious days for the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well 50th Anniversary shows. Parking cost was $40 a day and be aware they move you right out after the concert was over, no hanging out. The downside was the fact that while the folks at the gate were friendly enough, the guys showing you where to park were pretty much straight up a-holes:) But hey once they were gone, a party was going on! Security was strict when it came to having any type of canopy/awning set up, but let the party atmosphere prevail for the most part. What a great weekend and lead up to the shows. Hanging in the lot with thousands of Deadheads young and old all having a great time was a party to remember...if you can. read more

This is one of the parking lots used for events at the McCormick center, like the yearly Chicago Auto Show. Parking is typically $15 dollars with a city tax of $4, totaling $19 dollars. If coming to the Auto show, don't think pre-think the event and park way far out near the exit thinking there aren't spots. There are always parking spots nearer to the door, most people just don't look. During the summer this lot is sometimes used for Hot Imports night or other such events. read more

I have never really had to come to the South Lot to park. I am usually just here for events like the Giant Tomato Fight, Windy City Bar-B-Q Classics and a couple of other things that I can't remember right now. So you can't really go by experience if you want to park but I have enjoyed the events that I have gone too at the South Lot it is truly transformed from a parking lot to a place that holds many memories for me and my family. If I ever have to park here for a game I will update my review but for right now the lot is okay with me!!! Enjoy! read more

I was here recently for a University of Wisconsin-NIU football game. The lot is pretty standard- straight on parking with rows stretching on forever. You can drink in the lot, and as much as you want, so that's a bonus. They also offer metal cans to place used coals, so the anti-fire foresight is good I suppose. However, there were a few major issues: 1) Parking is $46- This is probably pretty standard, and not a terrible if you can carpool with a group, but at this rate, they need to remedy one major problem-- 2) Not enough porta-potties. In our lot, I think there were about 12 porta-potties. They line took, without any exaggeration, 45 minutes. People were actually unbuttoning their pants pre-pee so they could get in and out faster for the people in line. My overall point is if you plan on charging $46 dollars for parking, afford your parkees some simple decencies such as a clean porta-potty with a 5 minute or less line. read more

Looking to party hard before a Bears game??? Look no further than the South Lot! This is party central, where the die-hards hang. My once single friends and I used to refer to it as the "sea of men". Don't expect to remember much when you leave! read more

I parked here for a Taylor Swift concert. $54 to park! Easy to get in, but a nightmare to get out. The concert ended at 11:30 p.m., I got to the parking lot at 11:55 p.m. and didn't make it out of there until 1 a.m. Yep, an hour and five minutes to make it out the parking lot exit. This includes 25 minutes of not even being able to move my car out of its spot because the line in my aisle wasn't moving AT ALL. Only one exit and only two lanes open. Bad planning and design. Do not park here! Park in a lot near South Michigan Avenue. A lot cheaper and a lot easier to to get out of. Probably about 20 minutes to walk from South Michigan Avenue to Soldier Field, but keep in mind that you have a good 15 minute walk to get from South Parking Lot to Soldier Field. So by walking an extra 5-10 minutes, you can save a lot of money, and save A LOT of time getting out after the event. read more
