    The Bears and the Metrodome

    It was said today that there is no time line for repairs to the Metro Dome and that it may be unlikely to be fixed by the monday night football game next week.

    If the game is moved to a neutral site or is played out doors at the Golden Gohper stadium that is a huge advantage for the Bears.

    Not sure what will happen next week. Three logical options.

    would not be fair to give the Bears that game at home.

    If I had to guess it probably will be played in Detroit again.

    Peel the skin offa' that scab of a stadium, and play ball.

    Yes I am. Life ain't fair, life is about adapting to the situation. Don't screw over both fan bases with moving a game to a completely different city.

    I bet they play in a college stadium nearby. Kind of like the Bears did when the were rebuilding the interior at Soldier Field. No way they go to Detroit again, thats only being done now because its an emergency, they'll have a college stadium ready to go next week. I agree though it helps the Bears somewhat as it takes away a little of the homefield advantage. Either way the result is the same for MN ... a brutal beat down. :)
