LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Soldier Field will debut a new playing surface for the Chicago Bears' season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Bears' coach Matt Eberflus confirmed the installation of the new turf, which took place earlier this week. Chad Price, the president of Carolina Green Corporation, a full-service athletic field construction contractor, tweeted photos of the installation on Monday.
Laboring on Labor Day, it's what we do. Happy to be providing #GameOnGrass at Chicago's Soldier Field. First time bermuda installed in this historic venue.
