"If you are having problems scoring a ticket for the Bears-Falcons game Sunday at Soldier Field, Michael Turner might be to blame.

The Falcons running back is hoarding tickets for family members and friends. The request list is at 50, and growing by the day.

Turner grew up in North Chicago with a poster of the 1985 Bears offensive line on his bedroom wall. He went Northern Illinois.

And Sunday, after seven years in the NFL, he will play his first regular-season game in Soldier Field.

So Turner's people are as excited as he is. He is excited because it's Soldier Field. Because it's the season opener. Because it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Because he is coming back after offseason surgery."
