Soldier Field's Playing Surface Is A "Mess"

Discussion in 'Chicago Bears' started by BigBlueBruiser, Jan 23, 2011.

  1. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports is reporting from Soldier Field that the playing surface “is a mess" and says that four inches of snow fell overnight and after the snow was “squeegied†off the tarp, the tarp was then removed, the field initially “looked beautiful.†Glazer said the worst areas are outside the numbers and in the south end zone, where the field converts from grass to “painted mud." Glazer explains that Packers coach Mike McCarthy promptly called a friend in Seattle last weekend to get more info about the status of the field, where the Seahawks played last weekend. Wide receiver Greg Jennings, who’ll wear 5/8″ cleats, told Glazer that “this is terrible out here.†Glazer said that coach Lovie Smith wants his players to talk about the field “as much as you can,†so that the opponent will think about it and the condition of the playing surface isn’t, and won’t be a problem for the Bears.

    What? This is stupid as hell ............ the bears players have said themselves that they feel the field at soldier puts their style of play at a DISadvantage .........

    Bears defense can't blame the opening drive on the field, can they?
