Not sure if this has been addressed earlier:

Considering that SD has natural grass, do you think we will be at a disadvantage?

I do not know if we might have by now got quite used to the crisp footing of our artificial turf and as a result, might be sluggish in a regular field...I hope not but wonder what others think.

I certainly hope our players haven't forgotten how to run.

Grass should be in good shape, we'll be fine. If it were a crappy field like dirt that might be different.

They need to be able to play on any kind of field, particularly grass. Miami's stadium has a grass surface.

The field was chewed up pretty bad from the two bowl games played over the holidays, so they just re-sodded the field.

I believe the Chargers installed the same turf we have at the start of the season.

I thought BB mentioned in an interview that it was natural and that a portion of the centre was recently redone/sodded.

The turf at Qualcomm is natural, not artificial.
