Remember when the sod was so bad, they just slapped another layer of sod on top of it, and then it was so bad that a punt literally just stuck into the ground with no bounce at all? That was a national embarrassment.Originally Posted by Terrible Towlie
I liked hearing about the 3,000 seats. I'm still saying that I want more haha
The grass dosn't bother me that much, but I wouldn't mind seeing them change it for something that holds up better.
That was a fluke (an insane amount of rain in the 48 hours prior to kickoff, and although they tried to cover the field, there was some issue with one of the seams on the tarp that covered the field, so WAY TOO MUCH water got through). The groundskeepers seem to have gotten a better handle on taking care of the field now as compared to how it was a decade ago when Heinz first opened. We play on one field until Thanksgiving, then re-sod after the 4 WPIAL championships. That seems to work out much better than some of the experimental stuff that they were trying early on.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Yea, they have got much better at managing the grass. It makes mucho sense to re-sod after the high school games.
Talk to us in January.
I don't mind the grass field so much. I do mind that we can't generate the kind of noise that we used to at 3 rivers. I know when they designed the stadium in Seattle Paul Allen had them do a bunch of acoustic checks so that it would be as loud as possible down on the field. That gives the Seahawks a huge advantage when they play at home and the visitors can't hear the audibles. I'm pretty sure they lead the league every year in false starts and delay of game penalties.
As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

So am I the only one who misses these day's?

Looks like half the Cleveland team is wearing home brown jerseys and the other half is wearing away white jerseys.

I do miss those days. There used to be nothing better than watch a game played on grass when it was snowing out.
