Concourse activation staff, brand ambassadors, production assistants and club and suite hosts for the brands, agencies, hosts and promoters working Bears games, stadium concerts, soccer matches and Museum Campus events at Soldier Field.
Chicago Bears Game Day Activation Staff at Soldier Field
Running a fan zone before a Bears game, sampling a drink at a stadium concert or hosting clients in a club seat? Eleven8 provides event staff at Soldier Field for the brands, agencies and hosts working there, with , ambassadors and hosts who keep your space lively, friendly and on message. The stadium opened in 1924, was rebuilt in 2003, has housed the Bears since 1971 and seats roughly 61,500, the fewest in the NFL.
Football is only part of the calendar. In 2026 the stadium hosted summer tours by Bruno Mars, Morgan Wallen and Ed Sheeran, several on back-to-back nights, the United States men's national team against Germany and Chicago Fire FC home matches. Each event brings a different crowd, different hours and different house rules, so we plan every one as its own day: a family soccer crowd in the afternoon needs a different team and tone from a sold-out concert that ends near midnight.
Getting there is the other planning point. Soldier Field shares the lakefront Museum Campus with the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium, and only a few busy roads lead in and out, so traffic backs up long before kickoff or showtime. We set call times and load-in windows from the CTA and Metra rather than from parking, allow for the walk from Roosevelt Road and add buffer time on days when the museums are busy too. For giveaways and sign-ups on the approach to the stadium, our work the spaces you are allowed to use.
The stadium's own teams handle entry, ticketing, seating, security and food service, while Eleven8 crews look after the activation, club, suite or party you are running. Use the form on this page to tell us the event, the date, your space and how many guests you expect; the answer covers prices, the Chicago people available and a timeline for the day.
Soldier Field Event Staffing Schedule
Every Eleven8 team at Soldier Field follows our 11-step staffing process, planned around a lakefront stadium with limited road access. Load-in windows, delivery times and staff call times are set from the event schedule and the transit timetable, so your space is ready before the first fans walk in from Roosevelt Road.
Once you book, one event director runs your Soldier Field program, from planning to the post-event report, with office support at no extra cost. Your team and our crew use separate channels, so a changed showtime, a new guest list or a weather update reaches everyone before they leave home.
Staff arrive early, clock in with a location-verified check, walk your space with their lead and are in position before gates open. A live crew chat links your concourse activation, club space and any event on the Museum Campus, so people and supplies move where they are needed.
Soldier Field Event Day Steps for Brands
Game days, concerts and match daysSoldier Field Concourse and Club Staff Roles
Our Concourse Activation Staff run your space inside Soldier Field: greeting fans as they pass, running games and photo moments, handing out samples and keeping lines short and friendly. Because the stadium's concourses are tight, they keep a small footprint looking busy without blocking the walkway, and they adjust the pace and tone to the event, from a Sunday Bears game to a midweek concert or a Chicago Fire match on a summer evening.
Brands We've Partnered With at Soldier Field
Our stadium clients include beverage and food brands, banks, telecom and technology companies, retailers, lifestyle brands, concert promoters and agencies at stadiums and arenas across the country. In Chicago many of them work several venues in the same year, from Soldier Field on the lakefront to on the North Side, and want the same standard of staff at each one.
Eleven8 is an independent staffing agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire FC, the Chicago Park District, Soldier Field, the National Football League, Major League Soccer or any artist, promoter or brand appearing there. "Chicago Bears", "Chicago Fire FC" and "Soldier Field" are trademarks of their respective owners. We provide event staff to the brands, agencies and hosts working at the stadium. All marks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.
Booking Soldier Field Staff Per Event
Soldier Field Pre-Game and Pre-Show Event Staff
Not every brand moment happens inside the bowl. Companies host receptions on the Museum Campus, rent space for pre-game and pre-show parties nearby and run activations on the lawns and plazas where the venue allows it. Hosts, door staff and ambassadors who know the campus walkways cover those events, together with when a reception calls for a polished welcome, and they understand how crowds build around the stadium.

Chicago Event Staff for Soldier Field Activations
Chicago Crowd Know-How
We accept only a small share of applicants, and those placed at Soldier Field know Chicago crowds: Bears fans who have stuck with the team through every season, soccer families on a summer evening and concert crowds who arrive hours early. They read each audience quickly and talk with fans the way Chicagoans talk, directly and with good humor.
Built for Every Event Type
A Bears game, a Chicago Fire match and a stadium concert run on completely different clocks and rules. We plan each as its own day, with the right hours, crowd expectations and house rules, and brief staff on what changes from one event to the next, so your activation fits whatever the stadium is hosting that night.
Compact, Polished Activations
The NFL's smallest stadium leaves little room to spare, so every square foot of your activation has to work. Our teams keep compact spaces tidy, welcoming and busy without blocking concourses, and in clubs and suites they deliver attentive, unhurried hospitality that makes your guests feel looked after from arrival to the final moment.
Insured and Lakefront-Ready
Insurance covers our crews inside the bowl and across the Museum Campus, which venues ask to see. Lake Michigan brings wind year-round and cold late in the season, so we secure signage and displays, dress crews for the conditions and plan warm-up breaks in winter, keeping your space safe and presentable all event long.
Transit-Planned Call Times
With few roads onto the lakefront and traffic that builds hours before an event, we plan arrivals from the CTA and Metra, allow for the walk from Roosevelt Road and schedule load-in inside the stadium's windows. Your team arrives on time and calm, rather than stuck in a line of cars on Lake Shore Drive.
Support Through Every Event
Kickoff times move, concerts start late and summer storms can delay a match. The office answers throughout, ready to add staff, extend a shift or send a backup from elsewhere in the city on short notice, without your own team stepping away from its guests or its activation.
From an early-season Bears game to a summer stadium tour, a Fire match or a reception on the Museum Campus, our Soldier Field teams bring Chicago know-how, compact and polished activations and arrival plans built around the lakefront. For a two-stadium plan, pair this page with up in Green Bay; then share your dates in a so we can put the crew together.
