theesir Posted February 7, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdub Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I noticed that too. No clue as to why it looked like that. Edited February 7, 2011 by kdub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted February 7, 2011 Share 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 Except for when all the injured players were shown walking to the Locker room. Then it looked like ESPNzone with all the friggin' big screen TV's back there... pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Harmless falls to the turf? Really? "what looked like"...an important piece that you left out. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
