White Linen Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Rich Eisen mentioned that USC has requested no more Rams games after their home games. It was said that their natural grass field gets pretty beat up after a Saturday game and it's difficult to get it ready to play on the next day. - USC hosts Colorado on Saturday, Oct. 8. The Rams will play the Buffalo Bills in the Coliseum the following day. How do you think this will effect the game? Which team do you think this effects more?

Mr. WEO Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 No worse than when they play here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's been an issue at Heinz field on a number of occasions that Pitt plays at home the day before a steeler home game. I think it will affect both teams as neither will be used to it by then, but it's probably better than the surface the Rams had in STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 No worse than when they play here... I love seeing the infield during Raider games and will miss it when it's gone. It feels like the last link to the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Woods, Robey (and maybe Cravens if we end up drafting him) will feel right at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 USC is not Alabama. They should be happy about the additional exposure the NFL is giving their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 USC is not Alabama. They should be happy about the additional exposure the NFL is giving their program. ...Yes, because USC is an unheard of school in college football... It only dominates the second largest market in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a huge step for those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Its absolutely asinine to worry about field conditions in LA because of USC and the Rams sharing a field when California is already in the midst of a severe drought and grass is becoming nearly impossible to grow due to the effects of global warming. Rather than worry about how the conditions on the field are going to be, I'd suggest we focus our attention on who we're going to play that weekend when the ticking time bomb of fault line LA sits on starts acting up and the NFL contracts to 31 teams.

White Linen Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 How can we possibly answer these questions now? it may not even be an issue How do you answer any question that hasn't happen yet? You give your opinion. I don't watch USC much and thought maybe someone that knows their field might have some input, etc. Just a discussion that I thought was worth talking about. Is that ok?

judman Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I see no problem with all of this speculation. That's kind of why I'm here. I celebrate and embrace the hypothetical lunacy. That said. When the new retractable roof stadium is built in OP, it should have 3 movable fields. Two should be grass and one should be field turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
