Hard to imagine the 46 defense (of Buddy Ryan’s glory) playing on anything BUT field turf.
The turf contributed to the speed of that defense.
Of course they were good enough to win anywhere, anytime.
If the Bears went synthetic, they could use their speed on the defensive line, but our corners would get smoked like a pack of Newports.

Nice info Perno! Now why the hell can’t we do that? If it grows in Green Bay, sounds like the solution here. But could it be that Lambeau doesn’t have the myriad college/high school football games, concerts, etc that the Bears & Park District claim is what ruins SF’s grass every year?

They should install that grass/synthetic hybrid like (GULP) the Packers. Soldier Field’s horrible playing surface is an embarrassment to the fans, owners, players, and former players, I hate it.

I think that if any team is going to have the good ol’ turf,That they should go ahead and control the temperture to and put a dome over it.But if you are going to play against mother natures what ever she brings weather,Then it has to be the old fashion grid iron outside football field.Bears are a big atmosphere surrounding home field team.Always have been and always will be or is it time for a change.Its whatever is best for chicago.If it will make us better,Go for it i say!!!
