When did we start playing at Oakland Colosseum?

I have seen many games played on brown dirt painted green at SDS.

yeah...because its just a crime to play football on a field that looks like it has actually been used for,....well,......football.

Yeah because it is a crime to play football on a field that isn't suitable for football because it has been over used for football.

Don't the High Schools use UPS for the State Playoffs? How did the field look/play after that? I know it was talked about on ASFN but I don't remember.

Green Bay played on absolute crap for around half the season, they seemed to do ok.

What I find comical is that people are debating that the field won't be ready when we have one of the best grounds crews around. Don't you guys think they discussed this months ago? There will be 22 days between the Chargers game and Week 2. They could grow a forest in that amount of time in Arizona.

Water, sun and a few of what Braun and ARod are on and the yard will look beautiful.

Fresh sod would not have settled in by then and the grass would not have solid roots for people to run on it. It would be a disaster.



This.



Doesnt matter. if you plant grass and then play football on it a few weeks later you will demolish the grass. The roots have to take hold.



Grass grows great in AZ. Sun devil always had lush fields too and it is never indoors.

Thats a lot of work to just agree with someone. No wonder my post count sucks after 11 or 12 years.

Hey - if you put your mind to it, you can get to 5K this year.

I watched the entire game and thought about the field exactly zero times. Thought it looked alright lookin back at it.

22 days of desert sun in 100 plus, grass loves that!

My grass does well in those conditions.

Is this seriously a discussion? It's football. Not golf.

Fabulous.

The field will be suspended for the rest of the season but it will look awesome.
