LOL, I remember a Monday night game at Soldier Field where it rained buckets. The field could have had ladders to negotiate the trenches in the turf.

It was the night they retired Dick Butkus’ jersey. He stood out there in a virtual hurricane giving a half-time speech thanking the fans.

Perfect football conditions.

I remember a Monday night game at Heinz Field. It was the first year there. The game was played in a monsoon. There was a punting situation and the Steeler returner let the ball hit the ground. The ball went into the turf like a lawn dart. Field conditions was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Just pure slop.
