The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's amazing how sensitive the soccer floppers have become, and even more amazing that someone called her a "world class athlete".Oh baby, Gothamite's been fishing for days and finally got a bite! Haha Buster got suspended.

waltere Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's a damn shame that they designed a stadium with such a poor solution for the field. If it's got a retractable roof, it better damn well grow grass or you screwed up. So the Texans are in this place for at least another 15 years, and they've now got to play on fake grass.It makes you appreciate how ingenious Arizona's stadium design is. That should be the gold standard for all domes, but then again, we shouldn't have domes.The funny thing is that Arizona's stadium is the only one who that exists like that in North and South America. I think two are in Europe and the other one might be in Asia.What you're forgetting is that NRG Stadium was the first retractable roofed NFL stadium. Before that, a retracble roof over a 70,000 stadium didn't exist.Veltins Arena (Germany) & Sapporro Dome (Japan) were built after NRG Stadium and they were the first stadiums with retractable fields. Arizona, which came after all of the above, basically took Sapporro's design but should've also used also copied Schalke's stand design for the tray end, instead of having an empty end with temporary bleachers.Basically, NRG Stadium was just a tad bit early to the retractable party.As for the turf, I find it laughable the Texans are NOW doing something after the Chiefs complained. Did they not hear Belichick's comments after Welker tore his ACL on that turf a few seasons back? What that former punter who's suing them over his blown out knee?!? Heck their No. 1 pick (Clowney) also blew up his knee because of that turf. But NOW theyre doing something after the Chiefs complain LOLSome timeline clear-ups:What's now called NRG Stadium in Houston opened in 2002, which means it wasn't the first 70,000+ seater with a retractable roof, as the Millennium Stadium in Wales had already been open since '99. That also means that the Sapporo Dome predates NRG by about a year because they built the Dome, at least in large part, for the 2002 World Cup.So Houston were early to the party, but far from the first, which kinda emphasizes the point that they goofed when designing that thing. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 is it required to have TV numbers or shoulder numbers on a primary NFL jerseyYes. Teams can get away without them on throwbacks, but home and road jerseys have to have them.If they're REQUIRED on the primaries, then doesn't that imply that the league feels that they're kinda important? It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't require them for throwbacks. I'm curious if TV, radio, or PA announcers ever complain when a team wears throwbacks. They're either important or they're not. They should be required on all or on none - not on some.

TheOldRoman Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Those Bears throwbacks were so damn good. They'd be terrible for everyday wear, but what better throwback than one worn in the first years of the league, by a player in Red Grange who first gave the NFL national legitimacy? I really wish the Bears would bring those back instead of the '40s set they're wearing now. They could even use the current throwback orange numbers on the back if they want, but I can't think of a way to make that work on the front.

I'd argue that seat belts are pretty important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well, teams are limited in the number of times they can wear throwbacks. So TV numbers are important, just not 100% important. Somewhere between 88% and 100% important. I suspect that if the alts weren't limited in use, they wouldn't be exempt from that rule.

Jungle Jim Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I dont see how important they are. You can just wait for the player to turn 45 degrees either way and you see his numberVery true, and speaking of unnecessary NFL requirements, what about the two-minute warning? Why couldn't they just, say, install electronic scoreboards in the stadium that counted down the amount of time left in each quarter? Then coaches, players, officials, and fans could look up at the electronic scoreboard and know how much time was left, whenever they felt like it? It would eliminate the need for each team to be warned that the half was about to come to an end. Oh, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't mind the idea of TV numbers being enforced from now on, but not for throwbacks etc.They'd certainly look out of place on a lot of throwbacks, especially by the standards of this board, so it's great that the NFL can ignore the rule in the spirit of throwbacksBut I totally understand why the NFL want them going forward and enforcing them on anything new is the ideal way of doing that.

Gothamite Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Is there any indication that the NFL does want them going forward?If they did, we would likely have seen them on the Packers' new alts. There's certainly enough real estate there.The 1994 version of those throwbacks was in Madden a couple years ago, showing us what that would look like:But no TV numbers, which indicates that the NFL is quite content to leave them off these limited-use throwback jerseys.

jgiff17 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Any more news on the field turf they are putting down in reliant "nrg" stadium? I know they have the high school/college field they can put down really quick but I figured they would put down a better quality and new Texan only turf like the cowboys do. I have seen nothing here in the Houston news. It would be cool to see the solid end zones without the nfl logo return, maybe some red outlines added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
