Bears Reportedly May Protest Playing at TCF Bank Stadium

Filed under: Chicago Bears, Vikings

UPDATE: According to the NFL, the Bears are not planning to protest the game.

Vikings players have expressed concern about the safety of playing at TCF Bank Stadium Monday night. The Bears may take it one step further.

According to reports, the Bears might file a protest about playing the game at the University of Minnesota's football field because of safety concerns. The league is planning on the game being played at that venue, although that may change if the venue can't be properly prepped in time.

Meanwhile, players are worrying about the frozen turf, which lacks heating coils under the surface like other cold-weather venues.

Bears safety Chris Harris commented on his Twitter page, saying, "Players have concerns of traction n the impact of falling on surface that could be as hard as asphalt. What if ur head hits it."
