Chicago's Soldier Field
A construction conflict with Florida Atlantic University’s new football stadium could force the Owls to play their September 11th, 2010 contest against Michigan State at either Chicago’s Soldier Field (Bears) or Detroit’s Ford Field (Lions). With construction not expected to be completed on the stadium until 2011, FAU officials are exploring contingency plans to host the game. In addition to Soldier and Ford Fields, Land Shark Stadium (Dolphins) in Miami is also being looked at as a potential site for the game. A decision is expected to be made within the next two months on where the game will be played. It’s pretty safe to assume that Spartan players are really pushing hard for a trip to Miami and South Beach next September.
