Chicago Fire FC announced on Friday that their homecoming match against Atlanta United on Saturday, March 21 at Soldier Field (3:30 pm ET | Univision, MLS LIVE on DAZN) has surpassed 30,000 tickets sold.
“Since announcing our return to Soldier Field, ticket sales have been remarkably steady and momentum is building,” said Fire president Nelson Rodriguez in a statement. “The reunion of Fire fans with our city promises to make this opening day a special homecoming.”
