Does Soldier Field have a roof?

No. Soldier Field is an open-air stadium on the Lake Michigan shoreline, so wind, rain and temperature all reach the natural grass playing surface, and gusts off the lake are often the biggest weather factor.

Wind off Lake Michigan is the variable to watch at Soldier Field, but Thursday’s forecast keeps it at ENE 5 mph throughout. Expect a 0% rain chance and temperatures holding between 60°F and 58°F across the game window.
