Europe has plenty of stadiums that are in large parks or in industrial areas on the outskirts. It’s hard to get a huge plot of land in the center of a historic city. Usually these are next to a regional/commuter rail stop and they have bus depots also... rowdy rides on a coach bus are to European soccer what tailgating is to American football.
So, to me, Soldier Field already feels pretty European. It’s disconnected from the city fabric but plenty of fans still walk from transit or from far-flung parking locations.
