Pregame Festivals

Full day of experiences with every ticket

The New Ryan Field is wrapped in 200,000 sq ft of festival grounds. Every ticket includes access to multiple dynamic pregame festivals featuring food, drinks, live music, DJs, and entertainment. These are not small sideshows. They are vibrant, curated events that transform the hours before kickoff into a celebration.

THE VILLAGE & great hall

Chicago’s top restaurants and social hub

The Village & Great Hall is Ryan Field’s 50,000-square-foot culinary hub — a culinary-led, social gathering destination with views of the action on the field. The Village features seven pop-up restaurants where legendary Chicago restaurateurs and chefs will showcase new concepts in custom-built restaurant pavilions. The North Great Hall is the stadium’s signature north-end social hub — an open-air bar and beer hall anchor that delivers true “see-the-field” sightlines into the north end zone.
