Green, Green Grass of Home

So I read that Bears Tight End has made a few disparaging comments about the state of the Soldier Field pitch. I can't say I blame him as the surface as been awful for awhile now much to the disgust of both Bears and opposing players.
And it's not just Soldier Field that has problems - you seen the state of Heinz Field.

It amazes me that multi-million pound organisations can't get the playing surface right. (And I know its the Chicago Park District that's responsible for it's upkeep). In an age where English Premier League clubs have invested in under soil heating, improved drainage and play 25 - 30 games a season on them you would have thought American groundsmen could do the same.
