Albany,n.y. Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've been watching ESPN's countdown show & among all the things said was when they were talking about the fact that there is a tarp over the field at Highmark because they don't want the turf to freeze & get hard which could cause concussions, Mortensen mentioned that the new stadium will have a grass field with a heating system underneath like in GB & KC. I have no idea how he knows that or thinks he knows that, but that's what he said. 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember specifically he had scoops on several Bills related news items. I would trust his info. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If true I like this. Turf at Ralph/New Era/Highmark has been slippery for awhile. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I can't imagine they would have grass. They would just be heating some beat up lawn by January 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Nice. I always preferred real grass. Players will like that I bet. They don't have to deal with the rubber pellets flying up in their eyes and face. Except the kicker. I think kickers do better on artificial turf. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was totally tongue and cheek as it pertains to our endless string of dome/no dome debates around here, but thanks for your input none the less.

TheFunPolice Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Good for ACLS too... Dirt and grass give but turf doesn't. I feel like this was reported somewhere else before, bit more as a rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) When we toured Allegiant Stadium, they said that they asked the Cardinals what they would do differently with their rolled-in grass field. The Cardinals said they would have raised it up 3 feet off the ground so you can get under it easily. But a turf field and a roof would make more sense if they're worried about the turf freezing. And I'm sure doing all that adds a lot more to the cost. Edited January 15, 2022 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
