The Astroturf caught on fire in St Louis. Nothing dangerous but there is a burn mark near the end zone. They said "Astro Turf" a LOT. Any press is good press?
When you watch the slo-mo of the field turf in St. Louis burning,you will see a streaking Eric Yelding.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/field-super-bowl-played-4-191544787.html I guess we aren't the only ones with turf problems and at least we have somewhat of an excuse with the roof :grin:
Oh yeah! I saw this happen live. The field actually cratered under the Ravens' kicker's leg as he was kicking. I mean WTF?
Apparently not...lol. having trouble embedding video if anyone can help me out. https://vine.co/v/i1lg0wgpZQe

Levi stadium since day one has had one of the worst fields in the nfl. that's nothing new unfortunately.
I don't understand why they have an inability to grow a good field there? Its not like they have the same problems that NRG has in terms of sunlight/wind-pattern issues... and its not like its located in an area where grass routinely dies. It has to be something inherent to the grounds crew and/or the base overlay of the stadium itself. Hell, the SB field was brand new (which sometimes can cause slippage issues), but it wasn't the same field they had issues with during the season, and installation was supervised by the NFL.
seems strange to me as well, doesn't make any sense. but all year long i saw nothing but tweets and reports about how bad it was.
Speaking of the SB field, did you guys hear they accidentally painted both endzones Broncos? Had to go back and paint the Panthers side again, but it still showed faint Broncos lol.
