Do they hold any other events at lamblow during football season?
The biggest problem with the Soldier Field turf is the wear and
tear from high school and college games, concerts, and other bs
that forces them to resod in the middle of winter when the grass
can't take root.

Green Bay has a grass synthetic mixture. I imagine the field
gets used for other things besides Packers football but nothing
like the abuse Soldier Field takes.

They use a combination of artificial turf and grass, from what I
heard last year.

We use dirt. Someone forgot to tell 'em there's supposed to be
grass mixed in with the dirt. I'm glad to see Urlacher speaking
out about this, huge problem..

If we had a grass-hybrid field to play on...wonder if Cutler
would have gotten hurt in the playoffs?
I read about this some years back...L.E.D. GRASS...looks like
grass and behaves like grass right?
Except the stuff is really light emitting diodes...meaning the
ends of the "grass" can LIGHT UP...
so you are at the game... and the whole damn field sez... DRINK
COKE!
The ultimate in advertising. :D

Coach Lovie Smith and his staff are using this unusual
offseason to gain a better understanding of their team, their
opponents and the NFL. They have undertaken projects they never
would have had time for in a typical offseason.
Smith calls it "football enrichment."
"We would like to have the players out here, but it's not like
we don't have anything to do," he said. "I can't say I'm getting
bored. It's the opposite. There is learning every day. It has
been awesome."
In the absence of players, the staff has been coaching each
other in daily clinics. Sometimes offensive coaches mix with
defensive coaches to share strategies, but usually coaches stay
on their side of the ball.
For instance, offensive coordinator Mike Martz will show how he
teaches quarterbacks to throw. Defensive coordinator Rod
Marinelli will conduct a pass-rushing seminar. And so it goes
down the line.
On Monday, former Buccaneers and Colts coach Tony Dungy, whom
Smith and Marinelli assisted in Tampa, will visit Halas Hall to
share some ideas.
"We're just going to talk football for a day," Smith said.
"There aren't a whole lot of us still in our system who believe
in it the way we do. We're pumped up about him coming."
Extensive self-scouting has been a part of the offseason.
Coaches have gone over every decision they made last year,
critiquing how everything was done and searching for ways to
improve.
Smith and his staff also have spent extra time planning for
their early-season opponents. Last week, they simulated the week
before the opener against the Falcons, going over what they
would do each day.
Bears coaches also have examined thoroughly their NFC North
opponents, especially their closest NFL neighbor.

I loved that one. The mix of rage and wanting to just start
screaming epithets about the Bears coupled with what was left of
his restraint is one for the ages. I think the last I saw of
him he was coaching Omaha.
