Verizon Announces Super Bowl LIX Watch Party at Soldier Field

The playoff dreams might be long gone for the Chicago Bears, but fans have another reason to celebrate at Soldier Field during the Super Bowl.

Verizon is hosting a Super Bowl watch party at the stadium, alongside parties being hosted that day in other NFL cities, the phone carrier company announced Friday.

The first-ever Super Bowl Fan Fest is bringing the big game to 30 NFL cities, including Chicago, where fans can get in-stadium and on-field access to Soldier Field and watch the game live on the big screen, according to a news release.

Fans can also expect game day food, a local DJ and meet-and-greets with Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze and other NFL players, according to Verizon.

The Super Bowl Fan Fest at Soldier Field is set for Feb. 9 from 3:30-9 p.m.

Starting Friday, tickets can be requested by visiting VerizonFanFest.com. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is free to Verizon customers.

Super Bowl LIX will be held in New Orleans. Kendrick Lamar is scheduled to headline the halftime show.
