This was one of the worst fields I have ever had the displeasure of viewing people play on. The number of times people fell over because they couldn’t get their footing is ridiculous. Whatever research was done wasn’t thorough enough, and whoever led the research team and approved the funding should be forced to run across that field while it’s wet with flat footed shoes. I hope it’s never used again

Roger Goodell came into a test stadium, ran around for 13 seconds with a scotch in one hand and a cigar in the other, said "fuck it Junior, cut the check" to nobody and walked out of the stadium while he called his limo driver to tell him to bring him to Taco Bell

No the NFL got paid to use it. Simple. That’s why that changed it

I can see him running around like an airplane with both things in both hands in arms outstretched, galloping around. Runs the whole time to, as soon as he gets out his limo

It really was abysmal, not making excuses. The thing that gets me is yeah it may have seemed like a good idea but at some point they had to KNOW and they didn’t do anything about it. A backup plan really isn’t that complicated.
