Can you give us proof of where Grass is better than NextTurf/FieldTurf and how it prolongs your career?

With that shit at Arrowhead, I cant see how we havent lost a player yet...

"INTERCEPTED! And dropped."

"Tackled at the 30, forward progress to the 39."

"Tigers 3rd and 2 at the 40. Washington with the handoff, goes left, CUTS UP THE SIDELINE, moves forward and is tackled. ... It will be 4th and 2 at the 40."

I do like his "TO THE HOUSE!" calls.

I think he's better at basketball.

Yeah at times he was very hard to follow... Hell at the end of the 3rd Qtr he was telling the listening folks that there was only 2:00 min left in the game, I was scratching my head trying to figure out WTF?

His "Tackled at the 30, forward progress to the 39." Was getting very frustrating....

I don't think that happens as often as some would have you believe. I have heard the intercepted and dropped probably 3-4 times in my lifetime. I do get tired of "bellies back" though.

Joe Montana (which is why they switched to real grass) retired 15 years ago.

Its time to go to Next turf.

I know a couple of teams do...I think Real Salt Lake used to as well. When the big name players and teams come through they bitch and complain about it every single time. It gets a bit tiresome, actually.

Soccer can go **** itself and stay the hell way from Arrowhead... Who gives a shit about that Euro sport anyway?

The turf was in decent shape at the start of the MU/KU game.

Unfortunately, the sod got torn up and muddy when all the KU players were laying on it and crying whilst yelling for their ****ing mommies...


STAY DOWN BITCH

Real grass is so much better than any kind of turf.

That being said, if we aren't going to take care of the ****ing grass, then buy some damn turf.

I don't recall where I read this, but earlier in the year (or late last year?), a survey of NFL players gave very poor marks for Arrowhead's turf. Really poor marks. Last in the league, if memory serves. Basically, they equated playing at Arrowhead to playing on gravel and broken Boone's Farm bottles. The best surfaces (according to the players) were in Phoenix and Tampa - both of which are Bermuda grass, I think.

As a fan, I like natural turf. It's safer for our players and a good mud game is fun to watch from time to time.

You know, George Toma has repeatedly and publicly stated that he could take care of the Arrowhead field all by himself and would happily do so. I don't know if George is still alive, but if he is, Clark should buy him some seeds and a garden hose and let him at it.

People on the web don't like anything.

Mike Kelly is one of the better radio guys I know of...most people that I know feel the same way.

A lot of people actually...it is probably coming to KC when the World Cup comes to the US. It will bring 300-500 million to the area with it.

I like the grass. However, it's time that they brought George Toma across the parking lot to get the grass right. No small task, but it should be better than it is...

This. Apparently the Mayor of KC cares. This could give the city massive international exposure.

I want natural turf....taken care of by someone who knows what they're doing....and less effing soccer played on the field.

Football tears up a field 30000000 times worse than soccer.
