yikes...think I've played on better ones in grade school and it's only September.
Northwestern's field

I don't know guys. When I see a field like that I get a warm feeling in my chest. When I see puffs of ground black rubber on one of these new field turfs, I wish there was a better option.
And it's like they pulled a few cars up close with headlights on for lighting.

Least intimidating field in the b1g. 75% of the best fans to grace the earth
It's all part of the aesthetic. Makes the opponent feel like they are playing a high school team. Plays right into Northwestern's hands
Soldier Field has the same issues; coincidence?
An entirely new field was installed prior to the Bears’ first preseason game in 2014. The grass surface then had to be resodded three times that season. Soldier Field’s playing surface was named the third-worst in the NFL by Sports Illustrated in 2015.
Bears president and CEO Ted Phillips said in 2014 that the organization would be willing to move to artificial turf on Soldier Field, but has since stuck with the grass surface.
Soldier Field used AstroTurf from 1971 until 1987, when the team switched back to natural grass.

I remember when the Bears first put grass in Soldier Field. It looked like a cow pasture all year, and I really don't think it has ever been in great shape.
