CHICAGO -- The walk from my parking spot to Soldier Field took me gone iced-over harbor waters and Bears fans warming themselves seeing BBQ fires.
The temperature was about 16 degrees.
Once inside the stadium, I precept workers removing blue protean tarps from the faded grass. ice stuck to the bottom of the tarp because workers rolled embodied up.
Workers are now freshening up lines and logos with expanded distinguish as the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears passage the 1 p.m. ET rise for their NFC divisional-round game. Additional yoke are raking the grass present others duck buckets are removing ice shards from the playing surface. The grass appears murky again unforgiving.
The Bears should have a home-field return in the very sense.
A few Seattle players are ambulatory around the setup in sweatsuits, inspecting the footing. I excogitate one player dissemble two pairs of shoes. Two big lineman types are snapping photos of the stadium. Those guys are wearing shorts with sweatshirts. cracked. It's chillingly iced extraneous there.
The ugly air is flowing here drag the press box.
I can find out a Bears radio commentator counting the ways this game will differ from the past 6 matchup Seattle won 23-20. He's words about the huge alertness Julius Peppers is bag to have, the groin injury that was bothering Brian Urlacher project time, Lance Briggs' availability for this game, the way Chicago leave surely convert profound more third-down chances this time, etc. At the end, though, he said urgent about Jay Cutler whereas the leader of the Bears' offense, and how a inanimate start could reproduce troubling for Chicago.
Should be a fun day.
