You may bypass the Random Selection Process used to select Bears’ season ticket holders eligible to purchase season parking passes at a facility in the immediate vicinity of Soldier Field by purchasing season Premium Parking passes now for the South Lot, or at the Adler Lot for Chicago Bears’ games during the 2023 NFL season.  Except for a change to the pass printing & distribution, this process is similar to the one that was used in the Soldier Field Parking Program for Bears games last season.

The cost of any potential home playoff games is not included in this price. You will receive an email from No-Reply@BearsParking.com confirming your purchase once the purchase process has been completed.
