Going to the season finale? Call (773) 800-7475 or book online. SUVs, Sprinter party buses and sedans for game day, with base rates from $141.
Quick Answer: A Bears vs Lions game limo gets your group to the season finale at Soldier Field on Sunday, January 3, 2027, at 3:25 p.m. without winter driving, parking or a designated driver. Your chauffeur picks you up in the western suburbs, drops you near the stadium and meets you after the game. Week 18 kickoff times can change, so confirm the final time that week. To tailgate, most Hinsdale and Westmont groups leave around 11:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
A Bears vs Lions game limo is the best way to close out the regular season. On Sunday, January 3, the Bears host the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field in the final regular-season home game, a division rivalry that can carry real stakes for the playoff race. It also lands on New Year’s weekend and in the heart of a Chicago winter.
That combination means cold temperatures, possible snow, a game that ends after dark, and a long holiday weekend. A chauffeur handles every part of it. Your group rides together, tailgates and watches the game, then heads home in a warm vehicle, with nobody behind the wheel on icy roads.
As a Chicago limo service with dispatch hubs in Westmont and Hinsdale, Oreos Limo drives fans to Soldier Field all season. This guide covers the season finale, winter timing, the tailgate, the post-game plan and how to choose the right vehicle.

Why This Game Is Different
A rivalry finale
The Lions are a division rival, and the last regular-season game always carries extra energy. Depending on the standings, it may have playoff implications.
Week 18 kickoff times can move
The NFL often sets or changes Week 18 game times late in the season, based on playoff stakes. Check the official Chicago Bears schedule the week of the game, and tell us if the time changes. We’ll adjust your pickup.
New Year’s weekend
With New Year’s Day on Friday, many fans make the game part of a long holiday weekend. Out-of-town family often comes along.
Winter conditions
January games bring cold, wind off the lake and possible snow. A warm vehicle and a professional driver make the day safer and more comfortable.
Planning Your Game Day
When to leave
For a 3:25 p.m. kickoff:
- Tailgating: arrive around 12:30–1:00 p.m.
- Straight to your seats: arrive around 1:45–2:15 p.m.
Typical drive times to Soldier Field
In normal conditions:
- Hinsdale, Westmont and Oak Brook: about 35–55 minutes
- Downers Grove and Lombard: about 35–55 minutes
- Naperville: about 45–60 minutes
- Downtown and the Loop: about 10–20 minutes
In snow, add 30–60 minutes. Your chauffeur adjusts the route and timing in real time.
Pick one meeting point
For groups, one pickup location keeps the day on schedule.
The Winter Tailgate
Dress for January
Wear warm layers, insulated boots, gloves, a hat and hand warmers. Wind off the lake makes it feel colder than the forecast.
Use the vehicle as your warm-up spot
With a chauffeured vehicle, your group can step back inside to warm up between the tailgate and kickoff.
Keep it simple
Hot drinks in thermoses and easy food work best on a cold afternoon.
Follow the stadium’s rules
Lot access and tailgating follow Soldier Field’s game-day policies. Check current rules and the bag policy on the official Soldier Field website.
Drinks on board
Guests 21 and older may bring their own beverages in eligible vehicles, subject to Illinois law and our policies.
After the Final Whistle
It’ll be dark and cold
A 3:25 p.m. game usually ends after dark. Agree on your pickup point before kickoff, so you’re not searching in the cold.
Text when you’re leaving
Text your chauffeur as you leave your seats. We move into position while the crowd clears.
A short wait can mean a faster trip
Post-game traffic around Museum Campus is heaviest in the first 30–45 minutes.
A safe ride home in winter
After a long day in the cold, and on potentially icy roads, your chauffeur gets everyone home safely.
