Five years ago today, Kanye West came home to Chicago and turned Soldier Field into something bigger than a concert. On August 26, 2021, the DONDA Listening Experience took over the lakefront. Kanye standing inside a recreation of his childhood South Shore home, surrounded by a packed Soldier Field, presenting an album named after the woman who helped shape him: Dr. Donda West. Whatever you think of everything that came before or after, this night was undeniably Chicago. A kid from the South Side put his childhood home in the middle of Soldier Field, And then came the ending we will never forget. Kanye stood on the porch as the house was engulfed in flames, eventually emerging from the fire, and then, in the final moments, Kim Kardashian walked out in a wedding dress as “No Child Left Behind” played. Whether you saw it as reconciliation, rebirth, destruction or pure Kanye spectacle, it was one of the most surreal endings Soldier Field has ever seen. #ChicagoHistory ⛪️
