    I doubt it hurts it that much. Rodgers can put me at wideout and still put up some decent numbers.

    redone? Everyone complains about the Heinz field turf lol, while the Chicago Bears is on a different level of bad; the Steelers field is pretty crappy.

    I think FedEx field might top them all. Absolute shit show. ACL tears all over the place. Adrian Peterson and RG3 are the first 2 that come to mind but there have been many others. So glad our game against them is at MetLife.

    Side note: having a QB with chronic injuries is not a good thing to pair with a field as shitty as FedEx

    fuck that noise. the fields you guys are describing as bad are simply grass fields. the way the game was meant to be played.

    people tear their knees as well on rubber ass field turf.

    Field is absolute shit and none of the players want to play on that field, it's contributing to injuries. Teams should be fine for poorly maintained fields.

    After the mud bowl, you should know better ...

    There are several grass fields around the league that no one has a problem with; Kansas City, Denver, Cleveland and Houston to name a few. Heinz, Soldier and FedEx are just horribly maintained fields. It's hard to believe the organizations even let their multimillion dollar investments run around on those wastelands.

    only because they thought their field cost them a football game, not because there was a problem with their field or that they preferred that rubber shit.

    they'd change anything if they thought it cost them games. They'd mess with the air in the footballs if they..... oh wait, we already know that

    fair enough, I just like grass if it isn't obvious.. I also don't think players are getting injured because of the grass as much as many like to claim. I don't subscribe to that narrative. Maybe they could maintain it better in those cities though.

    fedex field has far bigger problems than their grass. I hate that place. RFK was a dump but I didn't think they'd replace it with a worse place. The stadium is somehow gloomy and everything is the same, generic, all the way around the stadium in every direction. I once got drunk at a game there and afterwards I walked around that place over and over for far too long than I care to admit trying to find where we were parked haha

    lol OK that's fair enough, but I am glad when our players go to Foxboro, we don't have to worry about a shitty ass field. Imagine being a Packers fan, and having your team go to that shitty field in Chicago - I would be worried each time.

    i think there are simply some hurt feelings over some of those games several years ago. They did address all of that by changing out the field twice a year. There is PIAA football playoffs there in late November and they re-sod entire field, and have been doing this for several years.

    This was a week ago for one of the soccer matches

    i think Jordy simply was unlucky. Here is the grass he played on yesterday, looked stellar!!
