Dark Angel Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 A Friend of mine told me that the 49ers will switch to FieldTurf next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProvidenceRI Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It's about time. Gillette Stadium has one of the worst grounds crews in the league. That field is always in horrible shape.Yep, and the only ground crew to cheat in the NFL...see the Snowplow Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg4242 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 After watching the Bowling Green/Miami (OH) game I can see why New England switched. But i really miss the days of NFL teams playing in a quagmire.Normally the field at BGSU is very nice, but we have had a ton of rain this month. I'm in the BG band, and it was very difficult to even stay on our feet at halftime. Luckily, our practice fields have been mush for a month, so it wasn't anything new for us...

dennisbergan Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I bet the next stadium to get it will be Heinz Field. That field gets torn up quickly each year (a lot of games are played there). By this time of the year, it just mush between the hashes.I don't think there are any other current NFL stadiums that need it. All the other stadiums that have grass fields are pretty good.

Gothamite Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I can see why New England switched. Belichick's just cranky 'cause he got out-prepared and out-coached by a former assistant. He's blaming the grass now. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 One has nothing to do with the other.I don't like Belichick because he's a jerk.

speedy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Why is he a jerk? For winning? Damn him. I don't personally know him, and I'm sure you do not either, so I wont attack his personality based on his on-field accomplishments. I think its rediculous the amount of dislike someone garnishes because of their success in life, you don't like the tuck rule? Too :censored:ing bad, it's not Belichick's doing, you want to hate someone 5 years after the fact, then you sir should seek therapy. Oh and if you're going to blame anyone, blame Walt Coleman... you know... the guy who actually made the call? I'm almost positive if you were from New England you'd think Belichick was a fantastic man, but you're not. So because of your geographical location and distaste for a successful team you deem him a "jerk". Doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me but it's your opinion, so who am I to question it.Because he got one of those rings through flippin' luck and a blind ref? He got that ring by outcoaching an overmatched Mike Martz who couldn't even spell defense if you gave him the first 6 letters. Just throwing that out there. The 2001 Patriots sucked, flat out, there's no way around that they just were not a complete team. But who took them to the next level? Belichick, he outcoached every opponent during that season, so please do not credit the only reason he has that Superbowl ring is because Walt made a bad call. I'm pretty sure Oakland had a chance in overtime it's not Belichicks fault Gruden couldnt stop that offense in the 5th stanza, oh wait.. it is, BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD COACH./rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think I and most other Rams fans are entitled to a little bitter hate when it comes to the Patriots, especially when you could make the argument that the Rams franchise has never recovered from that game. (Granted stupid front office moves and misplaced personnel priorities haven't helped either since that game.)Adam Viniateri is our Scott Norwood.

My god thats too funny. I agree though, the Rams have not recovered from that game. I still think the saddest thing is watching Kurt Warner go from Quarterback god to woefull traveling temporary/back up QB. He never quite recovered from his thumb injury. He could have been legendary but unfortunately when history looks back on him he'll be simply a guy who was good for a short time and thats it.

oz615 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I bet the next stadium to get it will be Heinz Field. That field gets torn up quickly each year (a lot of games are played there). By this time of the year, it just mush between the hashes.With that said,i'm willing to bet that LP Field will switch within the next 5 years,simply because of the amount of games played there.
