Recently, some of the Chicago Bears players, specifically star linebacker Brian Urlacher, had made comments about the natural grass surface at Soldier Field and how artificial turf would be better for everyone. Despite this sentiment, though, it doesn’t look like those in the Bears’ administration will be bowing to the pressure any time soon.

According to NFL.com, the team’s chairman George McCaskey spoke about his decision to keep the natural grass surface at Soldier Field and said, “Our primary concern is player safety. We want to prolong careers. We want our guys to be available on a week-to-week basis. The evaluation is ongoing. Every year we take a look at it. Our considered opinion is that right now the best surface for our team, primarily considering player safety, is a natural-grass field.”

The Bears have done well on the grass surface for years, and it stands as one of the few stadiums that have remained true to natural grass. The team works hard to make the grass ready for every game. The team is gearing up for the season, and fans can be there to cheer them on by reserving Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
