Nice job jacking up the field with training camp. Let's see how it looks for the first home game.
When did we start playing at Oakland Colosseum?

I don't like it either but they will have around 21 days to roll the field out and let it grow.
That and next year they will have the bubble to practice in East of the stadium.

The field is an embarrassment.

They sure need it. The field always looked great at the beginning of the year. I would trade a good looking field for a few more wins if that was at all possible.

They will probably resod the entire thing for the regular season. Last exhibition game is on the road, and no home game till Week 2, so plenty of time for fresh sod to settle in. Should look tits for home opener, not to worry.

That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
Jurecki was saying on the radio yesterday that immediately after the 2nd preseason game, at home, they're going to do everything they can to get it back into decent shape.

This field will be trash all year IMO, compared to being the best field in the NFL as voted by the players each year.
yeah...because its just a crime to play football on a field that looks like it has actually been used for,....well,......football.
meh

They talked about that weeks ago and said in that short time frame a resod you would see grass flying everywhere ripping from the ground and injuring players. Resod will not be possible in a 2-3 week time frame.
If you don't like brown grass in the summer, don't live in the desert!

We will be off the thing for 2 full weeks after this weekend. Should clean up. The crazy thing is we don't have any long stretches on the road at ALL this year where we could re-sod. 3 weeks after the Detroit game is the longest.
Jurecki told me that the plan is to just move the field outside after the Chargers game for 22 days of sun. No plans to re-sod
That would be the smarter move!
22 days of desert sun in 100 plus, grass loves that!
If its the right kind of grass and watered regularly its better than resodding which wont have enough time to take a true hold.
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.
