Something's got to change. Illinois is the #1 state where people are moving out.
NAGY might finally be the guy who gets the park district groundskeeper to change the

I heard on radio that the Park District wants grass because they do other things at Soldier Filed besides Bear games.
And that natural grass is better for all the other things. That they can't just switch to turf only for the Bears and ignore the other events.

I'm sure there's some statistic that shows the vast majority of the Bears IRs, annually, happen at Soldier Field.

well then build a new fucking stadium and tell the park district to suck it. GOD i'm so tired of the crappy field. fix it already.
That's why I hope a billionaire that has money would buy the team. Just ditch soldier field and build a new stadium without tax payer funds.

With the recent added emphasis on player safety, highly unlikely the Bears switch to turf anytime soon

Have you ever been to Decatur? In all honesty why would anyone with common sense want to stay in a state so heavily taxed, with shitty weather and corrupt politicians?

I mean, outside of the major metropolitan area of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. I wouldn't be living in this state at all.

I say keep the grass. Without it and the shitty field we would miss out on the experience of having to stop a game to remove 8" of rebar sticking out of the ground.

But it's not used nearly like soldier field. The problem is how much stuff still happens there and Heinz field has had the same issue always considered one of the worse fields than the bears.
Because having lots of events, high school games, and college football games make it a struggle and even with hybrid that usage will tear it up.

Who makes the final decision to possibly put down field turf at Soldier Field?
The Bears. If they would like the Chicago Park District to change to an artificial playing surface, it would happen and the park district would be thrilled as it would allow for more events to be held at the stadium. But the Bears have shown zero interest in moving away from the grass field. In fact, I believe coach John Fox prefers a natural grass surface. In other words, don’t get excited about a change anytime soon.

The Bears have a choice of real grass or turf they choose grass.

Grass soaks up barf and piss from the concerts. They'd have to clean turf.
Deer hunting, which sucks in the Chicago metro.
