Now they just need to get a rumor started about there being several secret dead spots scattered about on this new field and they'll be done.

I read some where that they made it firmer (faster) than most so the Colts and Polian will have to find something new to complain about.

LOL...so true! Polian is probably looking to beat up the guy who installed it.

I think they should have gone with a blue turf to match the seats. I mean, if you're going to go fake you should go really fake.

? la the parquet floor at the old Garden? That would be rich.

Bite your tongue! I saw some brief footage of a college game, thinking Big Sky Conference, maybe Weber State, on a blue surface. Make you almost puke.

Here's a 5-minute time lapse from the past two days:

Yesterday, you can watch them put the design in the "grass," put up the goalposts, and paint the white markers. Today, you can watch them paint the Patriots logo in the endzone.

It looks gorgeous and I think it will make us a completely different team at home.

Yes, there's always a "everyone is playing on the same field" argument - but the grass/mud was really levelling the playing field and neutralizing our best weapons on both sides of the ball.

On a side note, that's Bronco stadium, which has AstroPlay. After FieldTurf came in, the AstroTurf company made AstroPlay as their competing product, but FieldTurf sued them (and lost) for copyright infringement. The AstroTurf company went bankrupt a few years ago.

Finally the internet adds some value to civilization... love the insta-cam Pats1, great stuff.

Just think we can use Brady's wheels on bootlegs and options now...
