Soldier Field Chicago
Soldier Field Chicago Soldier Field in Chicago has topped the Forbes list as the NFL's most expensive stadium. The stadium is best know for it's Doric columns rising above the stands. After major renovations in 2003 the Chicago Bears 61,500 seat home has come in with an estimated value of about 714 million dollars. 

Soldier Field serves a memorial to American soldiers who have died in wars. Originally named Municipal Grant Park Stadium, it first opened its doors in 1924, before it was renamed Soldier Field a year later. In it original design the stadium could seat almost 75,000 spectators and had the capability of facilitating well over 100,000 with additional portable seats. After many upgrades and renovation over the years the stadium's Greco
Roman style has always been a constant.

In 1984 the Soldier Field was listed with the National Registry of Historic Places and later designated as a National Historic Landmark. This has since been rescinded after the 2003 renovations.

Before the Bears took up residence in 1971, the Chicago Cardinals play there home games in Soldier Field for the 1959 season before the franchise moved to St. Louis. As the longtime home of the Bears the historic stadium on the shores of lake Michigan has been host to 3 NFC Championship games, including the Bears 24-0 victory over the Rams in route to their Super Bowl XX victory over the Patriots.

Even with Soldier Field's price tag as high as it is, the reign at top will be short lived. The new home of the Dallas Cowboys, set to open next year will cost over one billion.
