Football fields can be mud pits, frozen solid, or carpet over asphalt (astroturf), how can there be concerns about the field?

Agreed.

That was back in the days when the players weren’t multi-millionaires and didn’t mind getting dirty.

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.
