JC Tretter voiced his disapproval of the condition of Soldier Field
shared a video on Twitter of a stadium staffer appearing to plug the holes and dents with what was described as a “sand-like substance.”
As multiple reports of the dreadful conditions continued to make the rounds, Tretter blasted the NFL for allowing players to take the field and called upon the league to improve its testing metrics in an effort to better ensure player safety. “The NFL said that this field met minimum testing standards. We clearly need to re-evaluate what is an acceptable surface for players to compete on,” Tretter. “We need new testing metrics looking at the performance and safety of every field. The NFL can and should do better.”
Tretter, who was elected to his second term in the position in March, adds to the growing discourse surrounding the state of affairs at Solider Field in recent months.
