question about the field conditions?

To answer your question, ESPN's coverage included a field status update. The entire field was covered with a tarp and the grounds crew is squeegeeing off the ice and water at this very moment. The precipitation is expected to end by noon CDT. I don't expect the field to be much of an issue.

Awesome, hey the Bears may play out of Chicago, but Sexy Rexy is a Gator, and HE is not used to playing in the SNOW! Drew Brees- Purdue I'm sure he has had some snow experience. The Saints can handle the weather. Where a muddy field will impact the game is the kicking game. That might be an adventure. GEAUX SAINTS!!

Read in another post that Brees wants it to be 29 degrees and snow...
