Weather and field tonite

[SVN]

Welcome to Sun Life Stadium - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Weather conditions. It is currently in the mid to high 80s, with the temperature expected to drop into the 70s tonight and a 10 percent chance of precipitation. It is clear. Wind could be a factor, with gusts expected in the 14 mile per hour range. The orange flags atop the goal posts are flapping.

Infield dirt with new sod. One area to watch in tonight’s game is the new sod on the field and how it affects footing. The Marlins and Pirates played here in Sun Life Stadium on Sunday, finishing around 6 p.m., and the infield dirt was covered with sod after the game.
