Pittsburgh's Turf Monster

Something needs to be done about the playing surface at Heinz Field (Yeah, yeah...Acrisure Stadium...whatever).

it seems there have been issues with the field there from day one and the conditions Sunday were inexcusable. The field probably cost the Steelers Miles Killebrew for the season. It cost them a field goal Sunday. It could have cost them Boswell. That **** should not be happening in an NFL stadium. The stadium has been open since 2001. How have they not figured this out in all that time?

They can't even make the excuse of sharing the stadium. Pitt didn't even play at home Saturday. Aaron Rodgers expressed his displeasure after the game.

“The field,” veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers said, “got borderline unplayable.”

 

It appeared to be very dry to me

How hard is it to water

And the weather has been good for growing grass with cool nights

Grass just needs food water and sunlight

 

sure do miss the days of players playing the game instead of crying that the grass isn't greener

 

Apparently now they decided to fix the field

Let's see how well that holds up. The next time the Steelers play at home will be the day after a Pitt home game.

 

It was mentioned during the first quarter the field would be replaced this week

 

wish our OLINE could block as well as a couple of posters here block each other!!!!


SOD OFF!!!!!!

 

STRUMMER
WHO LISTENS TO ANY BROADCAST ANYMORE?!!?

 

HMMM

just realised from one of those pictures that
there is a river just outside of 3 rivers???

WTF happened? Cheap Org had one bucket and it had two holes
where's the duck tape???

FMR!!!!!

 

Supposedly steeler fans

 

They said during the game that it was to be redone the next day.

 

Beat me to this.

 

Pay attention see 3 posts above yours

 

KETCHUP!!!!!!!

 

Who gets what is removed??

 

They sell it in dime bags to the local distributor.

 

of course in
ARKANSAS
It's

CYPRESS MOUNTAIN

 

I’m not denying it looks beat up, but how is it really dangerous to players?

Natural grass still beats the concrete feel of 3-Rivers, and I’m sure also the fake grass some stadiums do nowadays.

It’s not like they were playing in hurricane flooding like that one game?

 

LoL. I actually own that album. It was the end of me listening to that stuff.

 

It was basically a sandbox by halftime. You ever toss a football on the beach?

 

Is this some code or urban dictionary I am missing here?

 

I think he is being literal. Not everyone talks in code, or even understands it. LoL

 

Hell, the after game broadcast with Batch said they had already started on the replacement right after the game while they were on air still taking about the game.

So, they already knew it was needing replacement, it's just finding the right time to do it in the schedule. I guess they figured right after the game would give the field 2 weeks to settle in before back to back PITT and Steeler home games.

Also, to be fair, it looked like most of it was fine except the portion between the 40's and the hashes.
