theesir Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I tried looking this up and find no real answer, but it looked like there were two different types/lengths of turf being used. Around midfield it looked longer and then moving toward the endzones it looked short (and a different color). Did anyone else notice this. Seemed like it would be hell on the players running from one height of grass surface to another.
kdub Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I noticed that too. No clue as to why it looked like that. Edited February 7, 2011 by kdub

I think that they cut out sections of the old turf and inserted Steelers & Packers logos(EZ) and SB/NFL logos. Why they didn't install a new field is a good question. It looked like a patchwork quilt.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 seemed like alot of injuries in what looked like harmless falls to the turf. It really did look all beat up for this billion dollar masterpiece

Then it looked like ESPNzone with all the friggin' big screen TV's back there... pretty cool.

Yea, I don't know what was up with that field but players were obviously having problems with their footing. Its almost like a bitter Jerry Jones wanted a crppy field because his team didn't make it to the show like he planned.

I thought the same thing...Woodson's fall didn't appear 'bad' yet he was out of the game with a broken collarbone. Same thing when another player tried to brace his fall, didn't look bad...but they ended up bad.
