The Bears may be done playing at Soldier Field, but that doesn’t mean you have to be -- For the first time ever, the Chicago Bear’s home turf will turn into an ice skating rink for the inaugural Hockey City Classic.
On Feb. 17, 2013, Soldier Field will host an outdoor college hockey doubleheader featuring a noon game of University of Notre Dame vs. Miami University and the University of Minnesota vs. University of Wisconsin at 3:30 pm. Tickets are currently on sale for $15-$85.
Can’t make it to the game? The field will also open for two days of free public ice skating; youth, high school and adult hockey events; private ice rentals; and more. Passes to the public free skate events on on Feb. 2 and Feb. 18 will be handed out at select Chicagoland OfficeMax stores starting at 10 a.m. CT on Sunday, Jan. 6., 2013.
