    "Hey, you’re a $12 billion league, how can you have a field not ready to go?"

    Or a back up field? What would be wrong with University of Akron/ Kent State field? Canton/ NFL
    really dropping the ball on this. What a disgrace for both Canton and the NFL. Hell bus them over
    to the Steel city we will gladly take the peoples hard earned dollars.

    Is this the clairvoyant thread?

    At least Ward gave some clues :lolol:

    Guessing there was a problem with the field at the HOF game.

    NFL teams have a year round ground crew who maintains the 32 nfl fields year round, the NFL doesnt prepare the HOF field, thats the HOF committees responsibility to prepare it for the game, so they used the wrong paint on the field, blame the HOF, and next year I expect the nfl will get more involved in inspecting the field preparation to avoid stupid mistakes in the future........

    Canton may never see another HOF game played there, what a shame for the fine people of Canton/Akron.

    ......


    How about eliminating the HOF game altogether considering it has been nothing but an guillotine for players?

    Remember when DeCastro got hurt at that Bills game a few years ago and Ben was griping about the turf they used? Was the field at the HOF game the other night in sorta the same shape? I heard that what actually happened was that Tom Brady was behind it all and he laughed maniacally saying "If I'm not playing then NOBODY is playing!" That's an unconfirmed report though.
