The field does look like crap.

This sounds kinda outlandish, but it would be sweet to make a red turf similar to Boise St.'s blue turf. True sea of red. .. and change it back to green for soccer or whatever... i dunno if that's plausible. lol

I like grass.
we might as well have one piece of old school left, since no one is allowed to tackle anymore.

C'mon, this isn't NASCAR. Or baseball. We play in the filth in this game.

Some of our best memories are of guys getting plowed into the grass and coming up with shit stuck all over them. Imagine how stupid the ol' Derrick Thomas in a puddle clip would look if he was sitting on some manicured green carpet. There's nothing better than driving a QB into the sod and seeing him have to pick that crap off him; to see a LB caked in slop because he's throwing himself around (and spot the pussy WR that won't get his jersey dirty).

Football is a dirty, nasty sport. Gimme my sod. I want a game or two every season played in miserable conditions. I like those 'mud' games when the team with the most grit pulls it out.

Might as well build a !@#$ing dome. Football is made for the elements and you children want to eliminate their impact in the name of having a pretty playing surface. It would be sacrilige to start playing it on a carpet because you like the pretty green color.

Go root for a ****ing dome team.

They should just put the field turf in, unless you play in a warm weather city your grass is going to completely suck.

I can't imagine watching the old AFC championship games between Denver and Cleveland and seeing pristinely clean uniforms.

If only the Grouds crew at Arrowhead gave a shit... That field is just garbage...

Someone think of all the teams that play outdoors where it gets cold..now think of how many of them have field turf..

Most of them tried grass and realized it wasn't worth it to have an awful looking field.

true.
but I think it's just part of the game. another factor for both teams to deal with, like weather etc.

It does look like sh*t though.:D

If they can grow grass in Denver, they can grow it in KC.

they should've allocated enough $ from the tax payer, or from Clarks wallet, to have a roll out field like Arizona; roll that bitch out into a green house.

:D

Then turn the Green House into a big giant party tent on Sundays?

Let me be clear -- it's certainly worlds better than most grass around here, but the field turf is NOTHING compared to a well-manicured and maintained grass field. So, yeah, it's better than running on hard ground and hard grass, but if you've ever run and played on a really well-taken care of field... you'll see the difference.

Soccer stadiums overseas have little problem keeping their grass in awesome shape even in the coldest months.
