Chiefs vs. Bears: Field conditions at Soldier Field are pitiful

The field conditions at Soldier Field have everyone concerned about the likelihood of injuries for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears.

As the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears take the field for the preseason opener, the primary concern for everyone involved is about staying healthy. No one wants to see anyone go down at any point, but especially in a meaningless game. Unfortunately, Soldier Field, the Bears’ home stadium, looks like someone’s unkept schoolyard with the game set to kick off.

Field conditions are what nearly everyone is talking about shortly before the game because the field looks very dangerous at this point with numerous holes and divots in the ground. Crew members who were responsible for the grounds were even working up until kickoff trying to fill those spots with sand.

It was less than a week ago that pop music legend Elton John held a major concert at Soldier Field, and clearly the field was not properly taken care of in the aftermath of the event.

Check out what people were saying about the field conditions:

From there, even some former Chiefs were expressing their concern about the state of things at Soldier Field.

Earlier this week, even Cairo Santos, a former kicker for both teams, was heard criticizing Soldier Field’s playing field conditions in August

Some further reflections on Twitter echoed the same sentiments.
