Chicago Fire FC History
The Chicago Fire became one of Major League Soccer’s first expansion teams when it joined ahead of the 1998 season. The Fire pulled off one of the most impressive inaugural seasons across American professional sports when the new squad, coached under Bob Bradley, secured an 11-game winning streak and made a surprise playoff run that culminated in an MLS Cup Final win against the two-time defending champions, D.C. United (where Bradley previously worked as an assistant). One week later, Chicago completed the double-header with their first U.S. Open Cup championship.
The Fire found further success in the early aughts with Bradley and his successor Dave Sarachan, who helped the team secure three more U.S. Open Cup victories in 2000, 2003 and 2006. In addition, the Fire earned the Supporters’ Shield in 2003. All-Star forward Mike Magee became the first player to win the MLS MVP Award while representing Chicago in 2013.

The game was great. How Gutierrez made that goal was amazing. It was cold but it was worth it. Chicago Fire won!
The atmosphere at the game was great. The before game activities and during game promotions made watching the game even more fun. They had a fireside chat with team management in the club so that was a bonus. The team seems to care what the fans want and the game was a great value.
The Fire continue to disappoint on the pitch and atmosphere at the game is nothing to write home about. Soldier Field too big of a venue
never again. I paid so much money for ticket & the main person didn’t come & was not even mentioned once. Absolutely never again
While paying premium prices for a match against Messi who didn’t play due to injury was a tough, but understandable, pill to swallow- what came next was not the icing on the cake I was hoping for. I have been to solider field for all kinds and sizes of events. I have NEVER experienced the poor traffic management like I did on this game night. It took us over 2 hours to go the final 0.8 miles from LSD to the parking garage on 18th. We finally made it to our parking at 9:00 ran to the gate only to be greeted by one open gate and a line of fans. We made it to our seats at 9:21 and game was over at 9:30. First and last Chicago Fire game. Very disappointed
Just as the title. Don't deserve. I paid more that 200$ for the forth round seat.
Unbelievable! Just money in your mind and nothing else. Hope you are happy for the record and the money, as you will have a big drop and loss in the upcoming months!
It usually takes about an hour to arrive to Soldier field. Anticipating a large crowd, we gave ourselves 2.25 hours to arrive. It took us 4 hours from leaving our home to sitting in our seats. At least 1 hour of that was spent sitting in the traffic line to enter our prepaid parking site. We only caught the last 25 or less minutes of the game. To have paid a premium for this game, where the player that we were willing to pay the premium for didn't even show up to wave, then almost miss the entire event because the facility was not prepared to handle such a large crowd is beyond disappointing, beyond upsetting. And the credit options to compensate for this are an absolute joke...
Even without Messi the game was good and we won too!
It was a fun time with my son despite not seeing Messi against the Fire. The Fire really were motivated and exploded for 4 goals.
