And I mean I can be in my stand in 30 minutes. I hunt about a mile or two drive from my house.

My only desire for Chicago would be medical. My Dr's aren't horrible but there are super specialists up there. For me to get a surgeon with a lot of specific experience would either require being alone in the hospital for a week or so or someone paying out the ass for a hotel room, and I would dread that drive home.

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.

I think that of some one is a billionaire it is assumed that they have money! :lol:

I also heard the Parks dept chooses/prefers grass. I have also heard that if the Bears wanted another surface they could have it.

lambeau has some bomb ass hybrid turf with a heating system. we should do that rather than switch to 100% artificial

https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/10/01/nfl-stadium-turf-grass-rankings

So did Pittsburgh and it's traditionally been the worst turf in the league. Pitt used their field like we do with alternate sports and concerts while GB is NFL only. Pittsburgh usage mimics ours and that won't change here. The other issue is that Pitt couldn't replace their turf when it gets messed because it's Grassmaster which is grown instead of sodded. It's been brought up before but it's a very poor choice for an all season multi use stadium. Pittsburgh has changed to natural grass so they can now repair in season instead of playing on choppy painted dirt. DD Grassmaster is the absolute worst option for us. Here you go.

I meant lots of money. Obviously if your net worth is a billion dollars, you are still going to be on the tax payer dole for a new stadium. If it's 20 billion dollars you have enough to buy the team and build your own stadium.
