That field was attrocious.
Why do you say that? What was wrong? Were you there?
Were there pre-game questions about even playing the game because of the field's condition?

Concerns about the field were raised last year when Adrian Peterson blew out his ACL on it. Before the game the announcers said this and mentioned that if it were not for paint the field would have been the color of dirt. No excuse for a NFL team to have to endure that type of field.

My wife and I thought there was something strange about the field. It looked like it wasn’t attached to the soil or something. Pieces were flying off with each player’s step.

Saw the game on TV. I have some “experience”.

Played on many fields like that (all sand or less) in junior high and high school (late 60’s) so FedEx was all too reminiscsant.

But the difference between what I saw yesterday (affecting both teams) was - I was a 16 year old kid and did not have my career and livelihood dependant on such a POS field.
