Soldier Field is one of the most recognized and iconic Chicago landmarks. And many of you have likely been to a Bears game there, or perhaps a Taylor Swift concert! What you might not think about when you visit is that the stadium has hosted numerous historic figures like MLK Jr. and NATO, and has had a far reaching impact on the Chicagoland economy for decades. We sat down with Luca Serra, Director of Marking & PR for Soldier Field, to discuss what it takes to run a 63,500 seat stadium! He shares some of the rich 100+ year history of the stadium and discusses its designation as a National Historic Landmark. Learn about the “it takes a village” mentality he and his team need when it comes to pulling off a wide array of highly visible events, and learn about some of the economic impacts the stadium has on Chicago. Plus, hear about some of the current and future trends they see in the event, sport, and concert industries.  We end with rapid fire and learn about the time Luca met Obama, what concert he’s looking forward to this summer, and what his go-to food and beverage order are at the stadium!  UPCOMING EVENTS & TICKETS: https://www.soldierfield.com/events/all (https://www.soldierfield.com/events/all) MORE STADIUM HISTORY: https://www.soldierfield.com/stadium-info/about (https://www.soldierfield.com/stadium-info/about) BOOK A PRIVATE EXPERIENCE: https://www.soldierfield.com/private-events (https://www.soldierfield.com/private-events) Follow them on Instagram (@soldierfield): https://www.instagram.com/soldierfield/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/soldierfield/?hl=en)
