  1. Never knew that. Well, screw Virginia anyways.
  2. The Bears aren't the only NFL team not to have complete control over the installation of turf and its maintenance, right? Idk. As it were, my cousin is the principle in charge of the construction of the Vikings new stadium (and Colts). I should ask him
  3. 31. And the most important thing is the club level. The Parks dept didn't screw up the playing surface. The Bears insisting on grass over turf is what has screwed up the playing surface. Really? I thought it was the Park district that insisted on it. So much confusion out there
  4. Hence Soldier Fields "ideal" is turf. There are what, 32 nfl stadiums total? It's not like the build them everyday. And probably the single most important piece of it is the playing surface. And yet, the Parks dept screwed that up
  5. Everything's "doable", but in an NFL stadium, what's ideal? Do the ideal.....
  6. If the water table was really that high, when the building was rebuilt, how did they not diaphragm the field area to keep the water out? You can place building foundations in a high water table by using "piles", not as in mounds but as in columns that extend down into the muck a la Venice Italy. But how did they not protect the field? They had to of, and if the result was a very shallow soil layer or the inability to grow grass at all, then the very use of grass was a total compromise and [expletive].
  7. Ohhh right, I forgot they did that. If the have to have it adjustable, they really should just Field Turf it and be done with it
  8. Water table? That's total [expletive]. And If the native soil is really that awful then strip it out and replace it all. It's the "other events" part that's likely the issue
  9. They do play well on it. Too bad it causes cancer. Did you see that article about the soccer goalies? It was soccer goalies specifically, sucking in ground up tires
  10. They do play well on it. Too bad it causes cancer. I think this makes me realize how really bad Soldier Field is. Been a lot of players slipping in the home games. It definitely doesn't seem like a fast track or help the home team as much as it should. Which I totally don't understand. It's grass, the only way it's slippery is if it's like -20 out and it's frozen solid, so why in late summer?
  11. what block? he looked like he was running the ball, running around the defensive players
  12. welp, we need a really disappointing loss to set ourselves up for a dramatic win in Lambeau Bears 13 Dolphins 47
  13. its like a track meet with Allen and Young
  14. NOT GETTING THAT 1ST WILL HURT
  15. I dont know you Hurst, but I <3 you
  16. God Young is awesome. 15 sacks this year?
  17. we're never going to throw again are we
  18. hes slower then Bryan Robinson in a field of tall wheat grass while towing a hipsled
  19. Holmes needed to try that one, he makes 1 guy miss and there is no one with in 15-20 yards now I miss Hester
