My brother knows a guy who has a connection to the folks down at the Ralph. And he hears that there may be an announcement on type of turf that will be used at the stadium this year. Of course, this guy may be full of it. But let’s keep our eyes open.

Resign our own guys! -
i read something about it yesterday.
LINK ...you'll find it at the bottom of the page (scroll down)
The official word hasn't been made yet, but expect the Bills to announce soon they are installing new, more modern artificial turf at The Ralph. The Bills are going with a product called Astroplay, which more closely resembles natural grass than traditional artificial turf. However, the Bills will be the first team in the NFL to use Astroplay in their stadium. -
Astroplay, Astroturf. Isn't Astroturf considered superior by many, and doesn't Chicago have Astroplay?Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.Comment

Is that the stuff that they use in Seattle? That fake grass stuff that's easy on the joints and doesn't soak up water? If so, I hope the Bills get it! Especially since they signed McGahee. I have serious doubts as to how well he'll handle the turf and the cold with his knee injury. I still don't think he was the best choice for a first round pick.
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt
Is there ain't not answer here on earth

interesting article from last year...
The Buffalo Bills are the latest National Football League (NFL) franchise to make use of AstroPlay®, the latest in advanced synthetic playing surfaces from SOUTHWEST Recreational Industries, Inc.
In August, the Bills covered a 45,490-square foot section of their main practice field in AstroPlay® RR XL. The intent is to evaluate how the surface plays during the inclement Buffalo winters. If the surface passes muster with the team, the Bills will consider installing AstroPlay® at Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the team plays its home games. The field at Ralph Wilson Stadium is presently covered by a SOUTHWEST AstroTurf® surface.

The field that Chicago played on last year (University of Illinois) had astroplay... but wasn't chicago riddled with injuries last season
? ..was it because of the field?

The Bears played at the University of Illinois last year that has the "flubber" field. Most injuries were caused by poor line play.

There is a press conference called for 11AM but I will not be near a radio to hear it.

During the restoration, the Bears played their 2002 season on another SRI Sports field system. This one is an AstroPlay® synthetic turf field owned by the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. With a non-abrasive surface, this specially designed field offers high-performance and dependability. Plus, it looks and plays like real grass. In fact, AstroPlay® is equivalent in performance and ball-bounce to the best natural grass systems in the world. The Illini will continue to host the Bears until the Soldier Field renovations are complete.Comment

They should install the same grass field system as Green Bay. You don'e see it come up in big chunks like most of the other northern cities.Comment
