“The Bruce Springsteen concert at Guaranteed Rate Field was the best concert I’ve ever seen. It was a gorgeous summer night in Chicago, and ‘Boss’ fans filled the stadium. The stage was right on the field, and the sound was crystal clear. It was quick and easy to get to the stadium after work, and the food was great.”
