Bears' Soldier Field to Have New Grass for Season Opener vs. 49ers Following Concerns

The current roster isn't the only reason for concern for the Chicago Bears.

The grass at Soldier Field has been the target of plenty of criticism this offseason, especially ahead of the Aug. 13 preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. There are now plans in place to fix it before the Sept. 11 season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

"Long-planned full resodding of the field is scheduled for early September using a new Bermuda grass system requested by the Bears," Soldier Field management said in a statement, per Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times.
