Jay Cutler just might have been on to something. During the buildup to this Sunday's pivotal showdown against the Detroit Lions, the Bears quarterback suggested that his NFC North rivals wouldn't enjoy the same success they had in their Week 5 win now that the venue would be outside. "We're going to be on grbutt. It's going to be a different environment for them ... a totally different ballgame," Cutler said this week. "They don't have that advantage on their side this time, so it is going to be on our side." Cutler isn't the only one who had Solider Field on his mind, as Lions wideout Rashied Davis criticized the stadium's playing surface -- or lack thereof -- in Sunday's edition of the Detroit Free Press. "They grow their grass long?" said Davis when asked if the Bears keep their field in poor condition. "They don't have grbutt. I played there for six years. You're telling me they grow their grass long?" Source: NFL.com
I thought it was painted concrete...really sad not to have turf there in this day and age but I'm sure it helps them with home field advantage. not everyone is used to playing on that crap...my old high school has field turf for christ sakes.
