Right now at Soldier Field in Chicago, it is extremely cold, with air temperatures around the teens Fahrenheit and wind chills near or even below zero, making it feel much colder than the actual reading.

Current conditions

  • Around the stadium, late January conditions today are showing air temperatures in the ballpark of 11–20 °F, depending on time of day.
  • With wind included, it can feel close to 0 °F or even below, which is why forecasts describe it as “bitterly cold” or “frigid.”

Game-day feel at Soldier Field

  • For recent Bears home playoff action at Soldier Field, forecasts have called for about 17–21 °F at kickoff, with wind chills dropping into the single digits.
  • That combination of low temperature, wind, and occasional snow leads to classic “frozen Chicago” vibes that fans and players talk about for days afterward.

What that means if you’re going

  • Expect it to feel much colder than the raw number on a weather app once you’re in the open bowl and near the lake, especially in the wind-exposed upper sections.
  • Dress in multiple layers, cover hands, head, and face, and plan to duck into concourses or warming spots periodically if you’ll be in the stands for several hours.
