The city of St. Loser is giving the Rams some new turf to graze on...
The St. Louis Rams, who have long complained about the rock-hard consistency of their artificial playing surface, are getting a new field next season.
A news conference has been scheduled Tuesday to announce the new playing surface for the Edward Jones Dome.
The Rams' lease with the city, St. Louis County and Convention and Visitors Commission requires that the stadium turf be in the top eight of NFL stadiums by July 2005. The stadium will have FieldTurf, which has become the standard for artificial fields in the NFL and has been likened to playing on natural grass.
PS...See guys? I told you I would come through with something new...
So, field experts...is this a good thing for when the Seahawks visit in the future or worse? Obviously, we cant run on it unless we catch the ball first, but nonetheless...how does this affect us and our divisional inferior? Man Rams are butt ugly...
That's the same stuff we use at Qwest, so we'll be used to it. However, they'll be more used to it when the come to our house, so it'll probably be a wash.
ReplyDeleteBut field turf will be slower and grabbier, which is advantageous to the defense. The slowing of the lambs is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteTell me josh from sc, do you still wake at night hearing the awful screaming of the lambs?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't help it, you said slowing of the lambs and it reminded me of Silence.
Monkey, yeah, I was going for that. May have been a good title for this, not that purple graze isn't. It puts the field turf on the ground.
