I've seen many Bears games at Soldier Field and it's always an experience. I don't really have a seating preference but closer the better is generally the consensus of whoever I'm taking to the game. Our seats in 103 had three small downsides. You'll get a lot of shade from the sun here. Shade is only important if you're in Miami watching the Dolphins or in Tampa watching the Buccaneers. That's right - shade equals cold in Chicago. The other downside is that you'll be looking slightly left to see the action most of the game if seated in the first 8 or so rows (not that big of a deal). Finally, we could only see one scoreboard. The other was right above us so if you're someone that likes to refer to the multiple scoreboards for replays, you may not like it here.
Overall, 103 is a great section to watch four hours of Bears football. It came highly recommended to me and I would like to pass that on to all of you fellow "4th Phasers" out there. Just one section away from the visitor's tunnel.
