I know a thing or two about sports turf as you might infer. I am at a loss as to why this would be a concern. Aren’t artificial turf fields built on a surface of concrete or asphalt? Sure, there’s a layer of rubber crumbs but its certainly not like landing on the soft air filled surface of a Moon Bounce.

It’s winter. It’s Minneapolis. It’s cold. The field is frozen. It’s football. It’s not like you have a real job - you’ll only be there for three hours and will be paid more than an average workingman’s annual salary for the day of cold and snow.

How did the Vikings do it for the seasons prior to 1982?

I sure don’t remember such complaining from players back in the old days about cold weather and field conditions.

Well, if somebody decides this field doesn’t meet NFL standards, then what? The game takes place tomorrow.
