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.

Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field
The Fire play their home games at Soldier Field, also home to the NFL's Chicago Bears. Opened in 1924, the stadium is the oldest active venue in American football. If you're in attendance, be sure to keep an eye out for the rowdy Section 8 Chicago supporters. With their tifos and chanting, they'll be hard to miss.
Chicago Fire FC’s 2024 regular season kicks off in February at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania, when Chicago faces off against the Philadelphia Union. The Fire host their home opener against FC Cincinnati on March 2. Chicago Fire FC play their final match of the regular season at home against Eastern Conference opponents Nashville SC.

Loved the park!!! Easy access, clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. This was my first game, but there will definitely be many more!!!
Crowd control, parking, exit traffic poorly coordinated. Sound amplification ok for rock concert, too loud for soccer game. Need better security...pickpocketed.
Our entire family had a great time at the Chicago Fire game. Easy parking for us-so close. Food was acceptable and seats were awesome. Close to the field where you could really see what was going on. Our family 16, 14, 10 had fun!
Crew vs. Fire was an excellent game! Watching the crazy fans was a lot of fun too. But WOW - the staff and volunteers were uninformed, way behind, inconsistent and not knowledgeable at all. We've been to several professional sports stadiums and while the facility is beautiful, the staff/volunteers need to be soooo much better!! The web stated the gates opened two hours before game time. We went to three different gates and received three different opening times. When we finally entered, the food wasn't ready - we were hungry and ready to drop coin at stadium prices and it wasn't ready! Ouch! We had one question regarding transportation at the end of the game and no one could give us a definitive answer. We traveled from another state, spent the weekend in the city and no one could tell us how best to get back downtown. Inform your staff and prep the food folks!
Fire gave Tigres a run for their money! Exciting game from start to finish. Glad I got to see Blanco score a penalty.
Even though game was not so good... We lost ;( i did enjoy toyota p[ark. Pretty cool venue. They have some better quality food then at some other places. Prices are good and atmosphere is up beat.
I liked the stadium because of the amazing view, I will come here again in the future!!!
I bought the tix for my husband for his birthday. We drove to the game from Indianapolis and it was worth the trip. We had a great time. Parking wasn't too expensive and wasn't a far walk. The seats were great for the price. I hope we can go again.
The was great and I was looking forward to going to it since I bought them. I hope there is more games like this.
Fire games are a lot of fun, and this game was fantastic as the Fire beat San Luis. Now they are in the finals of the superliga tournament.
The Chicago Fire soccer team played a great game vs San Luis. We all had a great time, even our 6 yr old girl that does not like soccer enjoyed the game very much. The stadium is very clean, we had great seats. The bathrooms are also very clean. The food is good stadium food. They have great selection of beer and at a very good price for the size, great selection of Mexican beer.
The game was amazing, although I wish more people could have come out and experienced it. I believe that it was a nice change of pace having an international club come into town for a tournament event.
It was one of the Greates Games I've been 2 BadAss
I grew up in Chicagoland, but I've lived elsewhere since the 1980's. Used to attend all the Chicago Sting games (indoor and out) and always enjoyed them. After Toyota Park opened, I was waiting for an excuse to make the drive from Arkansas---and a SuperLiga doubleheader was just what I needed. Toyota Park is a great place to watch a football game, and I saw two well-played games. The Chicago Fire defeated Chivas USA in the first, my only disappointment was that both Blanco and McBride were being rested, so I didn't get to see them perform. In the second game, San Luis topped Los Tigres...which also was a disappointment because I count the Tigres as one of my favorite teams. But such is life. It was just an enjoyable evening spent in pleasant surroundings, watching a sport that I love. I'd recommend a Fire game at Toyota Park to anyone who enjoys world football.
Parking was expensive! The game was good, but we attended the US vs Honduras the following day (really exciting)! The end-zone fanatics were almost as entertaining as the game.
The game was awesome, we had great seats. It felt like we were actually on the field.
The game was great! We tailgated in the parking lot for about an hour and then went in to see the game. We had 4th row seats and you could see everything. It was a great game.
Beautiful stadium, great soccer and an enthusiastic crowd made for a great evening watching the Fire with my daughter. Our only disappointment was that Blanco was away with the Mexican National Team and did not play.
the stadium was out of the way....cab to Bridgeville was expensive and it was quite an experience to ride back home with the bus and then the metro......besides that , we had a blast. I just wish that we won but I guess Houston has a good team. Go Fire Magdy Mikhail
The game was exciting and fast paced. The park still seems new and very clean and most everyone is very helpful.
