What is worse...
1. Condition of turf at the Breeders Cup
2. Condition of the turf in Pitt tonight

pitt tonight.

Condition of the turf at BC seemed just fine to me...

i didn't see standing water on the turf at bc. plus they didn't lay that grass on top of another turf course.

i vote for tonight.

Did you see them pouring the sand on it during the pre game show?

steelers have had trouble with that field from the time it was put in. it doesn't help that the pitt panthers and a couple high school teams play at heinz field.

There are just so many directions that you can go in with this sentence...

we thought it was kitty litter or some other kind of water absorbant. crazy stuff up there.

The Dolphins just can't get awayfrom these crappy fields. First it was the field in London, now this. Do you get the feeling that if the fish somehow pull this thing off tonight, the next time the Steelers are home you will see them playing on fieldturf.

i think it would only take one high school team to beat pitt.:p

2nd half line Pit -7 (14.5)

Hey they have yardlines now

Sorry I love it.
OLdtimer.

Before they had good drainage and ways
to heat fields we would watch football in
deplorable conditions and it was complete fun.
Guys would get so muddy you could not tell
what team they where on.

Bring back the Ice Bowl as well. With Dallas
losing...

Did'nt any of you guys or girls play football
in the mud and have your shoes so packed with
mud that you would flip big hunks into the faces
of others when you ran?
Great stuff. I love bad
fields.
Cant wait for the first big snow storm during
a game when they cant cover the field.

Under players heaven

i did. i think espn should get a refund from the nfl.

early in the 3rd quarter this is the most exciting soccer game i've ever watched.

They played 4 high school championship games there on Friday, Pitt was at home on Saturday, they resodded the field after that and it has been raining for about 24 hours straight now.

Heck these guys tonight are just playing in a bog.
They are barely even muddy, just soaking wet. Its not bad
enough.

Back to a High School game in a small town during
a huge rainstorm. Nothing better. The essence of
playing through the conditions. And its a blast.

Poor Ricky. He is hurt and the turf is too wet to smoke.

playing it and watching it are two different things.

this is as much fun to watch as ou vs michigan in the 70's.

I adored those games.

They should have moved the Pitt game to the high school field

you should check out futbol.

okay that was a cheap shot.

great players came out of both programs. i admit it.

none of them had the sustained entertainment value of an oj simpson though.

who did archie griffen ever murder?

there would have been enough seating at a high school field.

Easily. All I saw was empty yellow seats Saturday.

The field was not that bad for the USF-PITT game. It was brown and somewhat torn up, but players weren't losing their footing all over the place.

How they thought they could lay new sod over the old sod under pure sunshine and have it ready for a Monday night game 48 hours is beyond me. The rain made it impossible, but even if it was dry, the sod would be coming up in massive chunks during the game. Most teams re-sod when their team is on the road so they have at least two weeks to try to get some root growth.

Someone should lose their job over that decision.

they are hoping this will now push them back to artificial. the league should step in amke them do something. another dec. and another bad field in pittsburgh.

Definity Pitt. It was funny watching the football getting stuck in the mud on a punt.

Outside of 11 games in 7 days on that field, they really screwed up when the re-sod right over the existing mess and didn't tear it up...that's what cause all the drama....They need to do what NE did last year and turf it in mid season....

You can not rip up sod and lay new sod between 6:00 pm Saturday and a Monday night game. It is impossible. The NFL recommended placing the new sod on top of the old sod. They now know this wasn't the best idea, especially with 2 inches of rain falling. The Steelers have replaced sod by tearing it up... in past years. The bottom line is Kentucky blue grass does not last through 11 games in 7 days in Pittsburgh in the winter.-------------------By the way the field is going to su*k for the Sunday night game against Cincy too...... So get ready to whine again because it the national TV again
