Seats were right there. Luckily the weather was cool but acceptable. Great view!
The game was excellent. Watching the USA Eagles take on the legendary New Zealand All Blacks was a once in a lifetime opportunity! The Eagles played well, held their ground and had a great performance even though they lost.
My seats were high up, but Soldier field has great sight-lines wherever you are located. The tailgating and pregame were a blast. The only downside to the whole day was that I think the event was understaffed. It took a long time to get in the stadium-far longer than it takes to get into an average NFL game. Overall it was money well spent!
The match was awesome. Initially, Soldier field only had 3 gates open. What the hell. It was SOLD OUT! They finally opened up a few other gates 10 minutes prior to the match starting. I can't believe there wasn't a riot. 60,000 people...and only 3 gates.
The game was fun to watch even though the Eagles were completely over matched. The access to the stadium was a complete disaster. Not enough people working the entry gates and the lines were ridiculous to say the least. We were in 3 lines that did not go anywhere and had to jump a fence at gate 9 to get in on time. It was in one word a complete disaster.
Even though I was basically on the top row in the stadium, the game was great! Love the All Blacks!! It would have been nice to have better signage on how to get in and out of the stadium.
GREAT SEATS LOWER LEVEL 6 ROWS UP!! BEING ABLE TO WATCH THE A/B's WARM UP WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO SEE BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE!! THE ANTHEMS,THE HAKA,THE GAME ITSELF AND THE PRACTICE AFTER!! WHAT I WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THE GAME IS THAT,MY PASSION FOR THE GAME WILL NEVER CEASE,A NEVER AGAIN HAPPENING IN MY LIFETIME,HOW THE SHOULD BE PLAYED AND THE COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE THE A/B's HAVE!! THANK YOU!!
This was an awesome event and well planned, field looked great and things ran very smoothly.
This was the best day of my life, bar none. Seeing the All Blacks in person was a dream come true. My seats were fantastic for warmups and the first half of the game, but since New Zealand was so dominant, I didn't see much action during the second half. The only downside was how cold it was.
Awesome!---------------------------------------------------
Unlike any sporting event in the US. International Rugby matches and the hoopla, tailgating, the great interaction with fans from around the world in celebration of rugby in the US was unmatched.
Although complete blow out of the USA Eagles, was a great time and unforgetable experience to see the All Blacks play
It was awesome that the USA Eagles were able to play New Zealand in Chicago. Though everyone was hoping to see the U.S. score some tries, the quality of the Rugby was good, and this sets the platform for the U.S. to make improvements. Thanks to Rugby New Zealand for stopping here on the way to their Europe tour. I hope they do this every year and help promote this great to more U.S. kids. I will irritate some by saying this game is tougher, and safer, than American Football. Cheers.
Wonderful atmosphere and setting...great for USA rugby and the IRB. Thanks Frank Kennedy
Was an incredible day for rugby in the USA!!! The outcome was almost expected, but that's why you gotta play the game. Unbelievable atmosphere, great friends all around!!!
A great game and venue. The exit and entry for such a crowd was dangerous in that there was only 1 gate for 62,000 people
Game was a very fun time. I am a Rugby Fan and I suggest more Americans to learn about the sport.
Awesome day for Rugby in America. The American press should have covered it better.
amazing game! the location and venue were perfect! security was great and the park was clean. additional corporate sponsor involvement would have been great to see but otherwise a fantastic experience! Thank you to everyone who worked to make it a success!
A great venue and an exciting game! Everyone in our section were great!
