I wouldn't be surprised if Kraft himself decided on this. I think this is a very good move, if they get the stuff like they have at Nebraska, there will be very little difference from playing on real grass.

Are you sure about this? From what little I know it's not something you can just slap down -- the whole floor of the stadium would have to be graded, prepped, etc. Sounds to me like something that'd have to be done during the offseason. I thought they were just going to put in new sod.

Not necessarily Sean. Our own players don't like the field, even BB didn't sound to happy about the conditions. The Kraft's are probably not happy about the appearance of the field either. We will never know, but I think this is a team decision more than a league decision. Even before we heard from Polian, our own players were complaining about the field conditions.

The Revolution is still playing right? If you are right, they will probably resod and then install the turf in the offseason.

That would be sweet---the Nebraska field is awesome. If they do this i would also like them to do it like Nebraska! (ie different shades on the field) Just my $.02 though!

I hope so, I'm tired of that crap they play on. Also a slow turf is less of an advantage to us now that we have good speed on offense with Maroney and, soon, Chad Jackson.

I'm glad, Brady tends to play much better on turf for whatever reason.

I'm sad. Football ought to be played on grass -- at least by my team. Still, I don't want them to play on sand and dust either ...
