Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Chicago Fire | Opening: 2006 | Capacity: 20,000 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

SeatGeek Stadium, initially called Toyota Park, was between 2006 and 2019 the home of the Chicago Fire.<\/p>\n

The project was attracted by the village of Bridgeview to revitalise the area, but failed to accomplish this. The stadium came at a cost $98 million.<\/p>\n

Toyota Park opened on 11 June 2006 with a match between the Chicago Fire and the New England Revolution (3-3).<\/p>\n

It got renamed SeatGeek Stadium in 2018 following a new naming rights sponsorship deal.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Fire never warmed up to the stadium, far out of central Chicago, and in 2019 they reached a deal with the stadium to terminate the lease in order to move to Soldier Field in central Chicago.<\/p>\n

SeatGeek Stadium hosts 24 executive suites and has a permanent concert stage built in. It can be relatively easily expanded to a capacity of 30,000 seats.<\/p>\n
