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.

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.

2nd half line Pit -7 (14.5)

Cannon Shell · #12 11-26-2007, 09:13 PM

Hey they have yardlines now

#13 11-26-2007, 09:26 PM

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.

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.

stevepopyak · #16 11-26-2007, 09:32 PM

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.

#17 11-26-2007, 09:34 PM

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.

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