How Soldier Field is oriented

The field runs along a bearing of 176°. A wind blowing along that line lengthens kicks toward one end and shortens them toward the other. A wind at right angles to it pushes every kick sideways regardless of which way you are kicking.

Measured from the mapped outline of the field itself, matched on the shape of a gridiron rather than on how it happens to be labelled.
