That thing is damn near unsafe, and we are about to play on it again

All of these kids will have to learn to play on the artificial turf at some point. Just how it is. Once you get used to playing on it, it really isn't that bad.

I have no doubt it’s already come up.
They probably made an adjustment to the field for soccer or some other nonsense which made it play different. My understanding is that the depth of the little black pellets can be adjusted to adjust the surface. But who knows.

Wouldn’t worry too much about the Georgia dome surface. We’ll be playing in Mercedes Benz stadium.

That field is dangerous to the physical well being of these elite athletes. It must be corrected. Surely CFP, Georgia Dome official’s and the universities and teams saw what the viewers did, and are concerned.

That turf inflicted two serious leg injuries on Georgia players, and both teams were slipping and sliding.

It's not coming up. $700k and took 9 days to install, replaced every 2 years due to the repainting for different events. They use water soluble paint and what looks like a zamboni machine to strip the paint.

Something was up with the rubber pellets, so hopefully they will have that corrected before the Peach Bowl. It was either corrected before the Falcons game or the NFL teams have different cleats. Either way, LSU will be ready.

From what I saw it seemed UGA struggled with it more than LSU. Very thankful we didn't have an injury. They definitely need to figure it out IRT what shoes work and what shoes don't work. Falcons play every home game there and the Saints visit there every season. Get with Coach SP and staff, and figure it out.

After we win you do it again and get with the Saints to determine what type of cleats work best in the dome.

It's not the field. It's our shoes. The Falcons had no problems Sunday. I saw one guy slip.
