The stadium

Designed to incorporate traditional stadium features from both American and European facilities, Toyota Park includes mostly covered seating, a brick façade and stone entry archway, and first rows that are less than three yards from the field. It also includes 42 executive suites, 6 larger party suites, the Illinois Soccer Hall of Fame, and the Fire club offices in the stadium as well as a large stadium club facility measuring some 9,000 square feet.

A practice facility with two fields (one natural grass, one turf) for the Fire club and its youth programs is adjacent to the stadium. According to statements by Fire President John Guppy, the stadium's design has the planned-in ability for expansion without great cost in anticipation of future attendance growth. The natural grass stadium field includes a a $1.7 million turf management system including full heating, drainage, and aeration capabilities and measures 120 yards long by 75 yards wide.


A permanent stage was incorporated into the stadium design to not only facilitate hosting concerts but also to be able to quickly change from stage configuration to soccer configuration and vice-versa. A typical conversion takes less than 18 hours to complete, and an additional 8,000 chairback seats can be accommodated on the field for concerts and other stage events.


Stadium naming rights were reportedly agreed upon as early as summer 2005 with Bridgeview Bank Group to name the facility Bridgeview Bank Stadium, but talks repeatedly broke down and subsequently reopened. In 2006, Toyota announced that it had entered into a 10-year naming rights agreement with the Village of Bridgeview, as the stadium was renamed Toyota Park.[3] This article is about the automaker. ...
