News: Fire Moving to Soldier Field

I think the team was telling the truth when they said they were just doing a "what will this look like" website test for the rollout of the move.

 

They mean what they say this time? Yeah

 

A new era of transparency and honesty is among us.

No game 72 hours before a Bears game with 2 exceptions. That was the old deal.

 

Can't have those feminizing soccer lines on the manly football field.

 

Green spray paint, I'm sure they have some.

 

The Fire played a playoff game on a Saturday night before the Bears played on Sunday. Overnight the temperature dropped and a lake effect snowstorm dropped a half foot of snow on the lakefront. Though the turf was covered chunks of it were frozen to the tarp when the tarp was removed. Numerous Bears players and coaches complained about the soccer players ruing their field. Someone quipped in jest that it was all the fault of 140 pound DaMarcus Beasley for ruining the field for 300 pounders.

 

For all of its faults, I have to give the Park District/SMG credit for keeping grass at Soldier Field all these years and not switching to turf. It may be awful grass, and it'll be 4 inches long when the Fire play on it, but at least they've kept that traditional part of football intact.

 

A) is 4 ft short or long for grass? I may be late cutting it again. And B)I forget what b is. And C) blaming soccer for ruining grass? Isn't a bunch of fat ********s running into each other in the same spot more likely to ruin the grass then a bunch of lighter people running around randomly?I'm no rocket surgeon

 

Well depending on conditions it can do some serious damage, just not as bad as football. A number of years ago I went to a game at BMO Field that was a few days after a Canadian Championship game that had to be abandoned due to a deluge of rain severe enough to put standing water on the field. The grass in the 6 yard boxes was completely gone. Hilariously, Scott's Turf Builder was a team sponsor of TFC at the time and had multiple video ads played during the event.

 

Mostly it is in the goal area.

 

Or in the Fire's case, in the defensive goal area.

 

Yeah, that was going to be my line.

(Great minds and all of that)

 

turf monsters might be better defenders than what we have, though. all part of the plan.

 

BTW, unrelated to anything, is your username a reference to a college in West Michigan?

 

yup, graduated 04

 

Ah, in that case, you suck .

/Go Brits!


//actually about to drive to Holland in a few minutes for some beach time this weekend.

 

albion, huh? in that case, i'll remind you not to try to breathe in when you put your head underwater.

 

Soldier Field next year isn’t viable for every game so Northwestern is being considered for some games. Clown car shit show.

 

That is true, which was why the Bears played at U of I.
However, just this week there was a meeting about Northwestern's proposal to change that (sell alcohol and, then, allow professional sports and for-profit concerts.

The spin will be, "It's a more 'intimate' setting than big 'ol Soldier Field."
(Oh yeah, probably cheaper to rent as well.)
