A Stadium Rebuilt in Record Time
Built in 1924 on Chicago's picturesque lakefront, the old Soldier Field had grown antiquated. The 1,441,000-square-foot stadium was scheduled for completion in a record 20 months, even though a typical stadium requires 30 months or more.
Infrastructure work started in July 2001, six months before the Bears' last game of the season. Early phased work included rerouting sewers, water, and power, and building two major electric vaults. By the Bears' final game on Jan. 20, 2002, power had been rerouted through new underground utilities across the 92-acre site. Construction of the new stadium launched at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 21.
Project Highlights:
- 1,441,000 square feet on a 92-acre lakefront site
- Record 20-month schedule versus a typical 30+ months
- Construction launched the morning after the Bears' final 2002 game
- Rack and pinion personnel and material hoists installed and serviced by USA Hoist
When it comes to installation and service of standard rack and pinion hoists, USA Hoist is the team contractors trust on schedule-critical landmark projects.

"On a 20-month schedule there is no room for a hoist to go down. USA Hoist had our crews and materials moving from day one, and their service team kept every car running through the final pour."
