FebrezeNinja posted:There was that hall of fame game they had to cancel. Was that also the one where they used the wrong kind of paint? I think that was different because they sprayed something on the field that ended up like epoxy? As in it stopped being grass and turned into something you'd skate over if you were wearing cleats. Someone could write an interesting long form article about all the ways NFL fields have been hosed up either as a whole or individually over the years.

Yeah when I watched the video again they're rolls and not 2x2 or whatever I said. There was a chunk that must have been cut but they aren't all like that. Still, those rolls seem small. Maybe if they were huge rolls? It's pretty hard for me to think this is any kind of solution and not just a cosmetic band aid. This game could be a Super Bowl preview and if anybody gets hurt in this game the NFL will have majorly hosed up. I bet they move it.

Grittybeard posted:Seams in astroturf were the main ligament threats as I remember. Like, there were places you'd plant your foot and it would get caught between two pieces of turf and not let go. Of course it was like playing on concrete with a rug over it too, so everything else sucked about it in addition to that. with a seam it's like kicking up the corner of a rug vs kicking up the center of a rug. there's like 1/2-3/4ths of the available friction from the surrounding rug gone.

That field will look amazing at kick off and will be garbage by half time. Should be good TV.

indigi posted:can't they attach Arizona's removable field to a heavy lift chopper and fly it up to Mexico City for the game I actually thought about this possibility for two seconds. I mean the answer is obviously no this will never happen and it'd take a few more than one helicopter to even imagine...but how does that work when the lift is pushing down against the thing you're lifting? I guess you'd attach chains to the corners and sides and have the choppers fly in formation away from the thing, and pray they didn't get even slightly out of formation since the whole field would crack in half. Er...anyway. No.

if you extended the train tracks and had it roll itself to mexico it would take just over a year to get there BUT that is with only 76 1-horsepower motors. i will leave it to jon bois to make the speculative fiction multimedia narrative for this train of thought.

Wait, is this right? This field has been THIS bad for an entire loving month, and the NFL didn't know until they saw the condition of the field on social media? Presumably advance US media trickling down to Mexico City saw it, went "holy poo poo", and reported it is how the NFL found out?

Amy Pole Her posted:Jones is great on 2nd and 10 sure but what’s he running against like cover 3 zone? That doesn't really take anything away from him, it just makes running the ball an ever better idea in those situations. And with Rodgers you have to stay up on your coverage which opens up the run game a ton. Quite a few teams recently have actually been winning games by primarily running the ball against coverage defenses

Why even take the field to Mexico, just leave the field in mid-air and have the players play in the sky, imagine how even more badass it’ll be.

Its more likely than not that both teams will be ordered to fly south as planned.
