re: LSU v. Alabama 1984

I never played college football, but I remember going to the Oyster Bowl (usually VA tech, vmi w&m or temple played) in Norfolk, VA back in the mid 80s. We could walk down to the corner of the endzone in pre game. The artificial turf was laid down on top of a concrete slab. I didn't notice ANY type of pad between the turf and the concrete. That had to be HELL to play on. At least today's artificial turf resembles grass to an extent.
