The grass is always greener: Unhappy with the hard artificial turf at Tulane University's baseball field, the Baltimore Ravens will hold their main practice today at the Saints' facility instead. The San Francisco 49ers, the Ravens' opponent in Sunday's Super Bowl, already are training at the Saints' complex in nearby Metairie. Because Tulane has broken ground on a new football stadium, the AFC champions were forced to practice in the outfield of the baseball facility Wednesday. Coach John Harbaugh, star linebacker Ray Lewis and several other players say it was "hard on the legs."

Why not just ask one of the high schools like Mcmain to use their field for practice

Newman has a full field turf field.

There's also a middle school not far from there that has like a 50 yard one.

Did you play football there?

I used to live around there right around then, and I'd feel so bad watching that team have to practice on that shite.

It wasn't too bad. Although I did hyper-extend my knee out there once

If you thought that was bad, you should've seen our weight room/locker room
ESPN and Nike pimped out those areas when they had they Rise Up show there a few years ago

You always hating on Tulane, which is to be expected from an lsu fan, but don't try and act like you don't. Like you were trying to the other day.

I work on the field at Turchin and the turf is a little firmer than what was on the football practice field, but far from hard. What would those guys do on the old Astroturf in the dome when it opened, that shite was a thin mat on concrete!

Should have moved practice to Hahnville or Destrehan, Ed Reed would have been at home. And NFL films has been around there a few times lately.
