Why Book Wisconsin to Soldier Field Car Service?
Heading to Chicago for the Packers game? Call (414) 387 6619 or book online. Flat-rate round trips from Wisconsin, 24/7, including Christmas Day.
Quick Answer: Wisconsin to Soldier Field car service is a flat-rate, round-trip ride from Milwaukee, Madison or anywhere in Wisconsin to the Bears’ stadium in Chicago, with your chauffeur waiting to bring you home after the game. The Packers play at the Bears on Friday, December 25, 2026, at noon. From Milwaukee, the drive is about 1.5–2 hours. From Madison, it’s about 2.5–3 hours. For a noon kickoff with tailgating, most Milwaukee groups leave between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.
Wisconsin to Soldier Field car service makes the biggest road game of the year easy for Packers fans. On Christmas Day, the Packers visit the Bears at Soldier Field in the NFL’s oldest rivalry, and thousands of Wisconsin fans will make the trip south. Driving yourself means a long round trip, Chicago parking, a cold post-game wait and a late drive home on a holiday night.
A chauffeur turns the whole trip into one easy day. Your group is picked up at home, rides to Chicago together, tailgates and watches the game, then rides home with someone else driving. No one has to skip the celebration to drive, and nobody has to find a parking spot near Museum Campus.
As the Milwaukee to O’Hare car service operated by Pharaoh’s Transportation, we drive the Wisconsin-to-Chicago corridor in both directions every day. This guide covers the Christmas Day game, drive times, timing, the round-trip plan and how to choose the right vehicle.

The Christmas Day Rivalry Game
Why this game is different
Packers at Bears is one of football’s great rivalries, and playing it on Christmas Day makes it a once-in-years event. Wisconsin fans traditionally travel well to Soldier Field, and this game will draw big crowds of green and gold.
Kickoff and timing
The game kicks off at noon Central on Friday, December 25. Confirm the final time on the official Chicago Bears schedule before game day, since NFL times can change.
Book early
Christmas Day plus a rivalry game makes this one of the most in-demand transportation days of the season. Book your round trip as soon as you have tickets.
Drive Times From Wisconsin to Soldier Field
Typical drive times on a holiday morning:
- Kenosha: about 1–1.25 hours
- Racine: about 1.25–1.5 hours
- Milwaukee: about 1.5–2 hours
- Brookfield and Waukesha: about 1.5–2 hours
- Lake Geneva: about 1.5–2 hours
- Madison: about 2.5–3 hours
- Green Bay: about 3.25–3.5 hours
Holiday morning traffic is usually lighter than a weekday, but game-day traffic builds around Museum Campus in the last hour before kickoff. Your chauffeur picks the best route in real time.
Planning Your Game Day
When to leave
- Tailgating: arrive at Soldier Field 2.5–3 hours before kickoff. From Milwaukee, that usually means leaving between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.
- Straight to your seats: arrive about 90 minutes before kickoff. From Milwaukee, leave around 8:30–9:00 a.m.
- From Madison: add about an hour to each.
Pick one meeting point
The easiest plan is one pickup spot, such as a home, a park-and-meet location or a hotel. Several pickups across the state add time on an early morning.
Drop-off near the stadium
Your chauffeur drops you as close to your entrance as game-day traffic allows.
Tailgating
Coolers, chairs and gear ride with you. Lot access and parking rules follow the stadium’s game-day policies, and we’ll confirm the plan before game day.
Check the bag policy
Soldier Field has a strict bag policy. Leave anything that doesn’t meet it in the vehicle. Check current rules on the official Soldier Field website.
The Ride Home: The Other Half of the Trip
Agree on a pickup point
Before kickoff, agree on a meeting point away from the busiest exits. Post-game traffic around Museum Campus is heaviest in the first 30–45 minutes.
A short wait often means a faster trip
Waiting 20–30 minutes after the final whistle lets the worst of the traffic clear, and you’ll often be home sooner.
Home for Christmas night
With a noon kickoff, most Milwaukee groups are back home by early evening, in time for Christmas dinner. Your chauffeur handles the drive, so you can relax with your group.
Winter weather
Late December brings cold and sometimes snow on I-94. We monitor the forecast and adjust timing if needed. See our O’Hare winter travel from Wisconsin guide for how we handle winter roads.
