It’s called Soldier Field for a reason.

Something most NFL Miscreants would never know because they are a bunch of uneducated slugs.

Yep .... Good point Big Bob !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_Field

“”Soldier Field was designed in 1919 and opened on October 9, 1924, as Municipal Grant Park Stadium. The name was changed to Soldier Field on November 11, 1925, as a memorial to U.S. soldiers who had died in combat. Its formal dedication as Soldier Field was on Saturday, November 27, 1926,[14] during the 29th annual playing of the Army–Navy Game.[15] Its design is in the Neoclassical style, with Doric columns rising above the East and West entrances.[16] The stadium cost $13 million to construct ($182 million in 2015 dollars), a very large sum for a sporting venue at that time “””

Only one game played there in 1926 between Army and Navy ..... it was a tie !
