CHICAGO — Forget about front-row seats: One man got quite a view of Soldier Field Sunday — from space.

Astronaut Scott Kelly tweeted an image over Chicago shortly before noon Sunday, right around when the Bears kicked off their 2015 season against the Packers.

He said it won’t be the only stadium he captures this season. Wrote Kelly, “My new hobby! Get a #SundayNFLStadiumPicFromSpace. First up- #SoldierField, #Chicago #NFLGameDay #NFL #YearInSpace.”
