EVEN BEFORE Topgolf opens in Schaumburg this summer, there will be an invasion in Bear Country-Soldier Field Chicago.

No it’s not the Green Bay Packers sneaking in, they will come and maybe lose their opener in early September.

But from July 11-14 Topgolf Crush, will be on-tap on the Lake Front.

Golfers and or non-golfers can go crush golf balls from the South Endzone of Soldier Field, and hit them at targets spread around the field. Can you make it from 43 yards, or likely even longer. Good thing your job and the season is not on the line. Coach Matt Nagy and his staff will not cut you if you fail to grade-out or score well.

Toptracer Range is part of Topgolf Crush!

Tickets are now on sale to be a part of this event.

“Soldier Field is excited to announce our unique partnership with Topgolf by offering golf at our iconic sporting venue,” said Mike Kelly, General Superintendent and CEO of the Chicago Park District. “Soldier Field has a long history of offering distinctive special events from car racing to boxing, to ski jumping. The collaboration with Topgolf allows that tradition to continue. The Chicago Park District takes great pride in bringing one-of-a-kind experiences to Soldier Field. Not only do the events generate revenue to benefit the parks, they also allow the community opportunities to enjoy exciting special events at Soldier Field.”
