Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings will put the team on his back, but he will not play at the Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field without pointing out the ancient stadium’s challenging playing surface. I’ve just referenced a hilarious web video, because we’re talking about Greg Jennings.
NFC Championship Game: Greg Jennings Says Soldier Field Among The NFL’s Worst Facilities
Jennings said the field could have a “huge role” in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, called the field “probably the worst” in the league, and said he noticed Seattle Seahawks players struggling to keep their footing.
The NFL’s oldest and smallest regular stadium, Soldier Field has tons of what you’d call “charm.” The grass surface, which was installed in 1988 after a 17-year experiment with AstroTurf (yes, Soldier Field is so old that 17 years counts as an experiment) is known to be especially slippery, and it’s not likely to be aided by Chicago’s January weather.
