From city to city, there are so many festivals with sickeningly good food, but we have to say, we&#8217;re always the most excited for this one. We&#8217;ve been salivating for months.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring over 50 bacon-infused dishes from local restaurants and over 100 craft beer and cider options from local and regional breweries, all set inside the most famous sports stadiums in the country, this tour might just be heaven on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>So put your game faces on, folks. Join us in this holy union of bacon and beer on October 1.

It&#8217;s only fitting that an event this serious about eatin&#8217; and drinkin&#8217; is held at a world-class stadium. Leave this to the professionals.<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple parking garages, both near the field and around the Museum Campus. You can pre-pay for parking on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soldierfield.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soldier Field website<\/a>. Don&#8217;t forget, ride sharing is always an affordable option. If you&#8217;re taking public transit, take the Red, Green, or Orange line to the Roosevelt stop and walk a few blocks there, or take the #128 Soldier Field Express bus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Entry Rules<\/h2>\n<p>Tickets for the event range in price from $59 for general admission to $89 for VIP. Attendees must be 21 or over and have to bring printed or mobile tickets and an ID to be allowed entry. Pets, large cameras, outside food or drinks, fireworks, folding chairs, and coolers are prohibited items. The event will take place rain or shine and attendees will not be allowed to re-enter upon leave.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_436463005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8333\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_436463005-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"bacon and beer classic\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_436463005-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_436463005-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_436463005.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Other than stuffing your face with copious amounts of bacon and beer, the event also hosts some pretty cool activities. Compete in a giant Jenga game or bungee run, take selfies with bacon in-hand at the photo booth, or proclaim your eternal love of bacon and beer with themed temporary tattoos. If you&#8217;ve got what it takes, go head to head with other pork lovers in a bacon-eating contest. After you&#8217;ve sampled the eats, make sure to vote for your favorite dish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What to Wear<\/h2>\n<p>We recommended picking up some Bacon and Beer Classic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baconandbeerclassic.com\/merch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">merch<\/a> with motivational phrasing, like &#8220;Life&#8217;s too short to be a vegetarian.&#8221; That&#8217;s the spirit. Otherwise, since you&#8217;ll be in Bears territory, sport your favorite hometown jersey and you&#8217;ll fit right in. Keep your nicer clothing items at home, wouldn&#8217;t want them to get ruined since you&#8217;ll probably be lathered up in bacon grease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8331\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8331\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231.jpg\" alt=\"bacon and beer classic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Bacon-and-Beer-Classic1-231-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: SF Fun Cheap<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Bacon Lineup<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/publichousechicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public House Gastropub &amp; Dining Hall<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knifeandtine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Knife &amp; Tine<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellyupchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Belly Up Smokehouse &amp; Saloon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/flochicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinstripes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinstripes<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blackfinnameripub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blackfinn Ameripub<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigforkbrands.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big Fork<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/reddoorchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Red Door Kitchen + Bar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.240sweet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">240Sweet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Beer Lineup<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/coronadobrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coronado Brewing Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3sheepsbrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 Sheeps Brewing Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pabstbrewingco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pabst Brewing Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/alesyndicate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ale Syndicate<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gooseisland.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goose Island Beer Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.virtuecider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virtue Cider<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.halfacrebeer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Half Acre<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/4handsbrewery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4 Hands Brewing Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noonwhistlebrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Noon Whistle Brewing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shiner.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shiner Beers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baderbrau.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baderbr\u00e4u Tap &amp; Brewery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samueladams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samuel Adams<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angryorchard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angry Orchard<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/travelerbeer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Traveler Beer Co.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Are you prepared for the Bacon and Beer Classic?
