The Bears new home is another classic in itself Soldier Field. Soldier Field built as a memorial for soldiers in World War I hosted many of Chicago's great sports events including Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tuney in 1927, and various classic college football games over the years. In their first home game at Soldier Field on the September 19th the Bears would emerge victorious defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-15. However, the Bears would not find much success completing their second consecutive 6-8 season leading to the dismissal of head coach Jim Dooley.
