Field conditions

What's up with the field. Every time someone makes cut or a tackle huge divots are coming up. It's usually not like this until late in the season.

 

The field is still recovering from the Batman movie.

 

Face it our field stinks........it must have something to do with the Pittsburgh weather......any chance we get turf?

 

I remember last year the rooneys saying no way they are putting turf in and with bens comments on it i would say no way in hell

 

The Heinz Field turf is really the laughing-stock of the league. I find it hard to believe that there's NOTHING they could put down that won't work. Goodness - it's kind of an embarassment. On the other hand - it does provide a certain home field advantage most of the time - last night notwithstanding.

 

we discussed this for 45 minutes last night on the game thread... and the conclusion was.. if you think its bad now.. wait till PITT starts playing on it on saturday before we play on sundays and then wait for the HS playoffs where it will then get play on friday nights.. saturdays and sundays.. thennnnnnnn throw in the bad non growing winter.. so if you think its bad now... just wait...

I may be wrong but it seemed to me that Spence's injury could be attributed to how easily the sod came up. I live in central PA and this is not a problem at local colleges or high schools. A college football field near my house sees heavy use with not only their own games but the local high school team and pop warner games and it has never been in as bad of shape as Heinz field was Thursday.

 

THE GUYS IN THE BURG SAID... that it got messed up during the filming of the batman movie and hes not grown right yet.. but with all the heat and sun and water how the H can it now grow.. whats its gona be like when PITT starts uning it .. and then the HS playoffs and no sun ot regrow new grass...
