Not sure this makes sense.
The importance to me is that the owner is willing to spent $400k for a marginal benefit for the last game of a forgotten season - he's all in. That's how it makes sense - as a symbol of the owner's willingness to get stuff done.

BINGO!!!!

It is a good sign that our ownership cares.

It was a joke.

If you haven't noticed we have had a $hit load of hamstring injuries this year.
Yeah, NSS, I was commenting on the spend to re-sod a field. Why it doesn’t make sense (to my addled mind) is that it won’t have any roots and it will likely have just as poor footing.
I get Mingo’s point, too. It’s one I attempted to make earlier regarding the head coaching vacancy. A prospective coach will likely find the deep ownership pockets attractive. Especially when they’re open to the most frivolous of spends. I imagine Dove Valley will be a veritable football Disney World.

Let’s see how the field plays today. This was my concern.

It's not like your hair plugs Pump - the sod is in a totally controlled soil environment over a sandy loam and a warming element - so experience in the yard doesn't apply here.

So you’re saying the sod is cut much deeper than anything I’ve seen in a landscaping realm? Then treated like a putting surface in Augusta?

If it's the stuff I've seen, it's grown in trays under a controlled environment and then each tray of sod is put in place before the game. Of course, it could be a new variation, but the other item of note is that this sod is one and done - meaning ownership knows it's a temp fix and will be replacing the sod permanently for next season.

Still, a nice gesture for the team by Walmart. Hopefully, the sod isn't sprayed with lead paint from China.

Anyone else remember the Broncos/49ers game in Denver which came down to a chip shot FG for a 49er's win, but South Stands snowballs peppered the field as the 9er kicker started his leg swing on the kick? He missed and the Broncos won.

@LGM has a way of tackling that angles his jersey number toward the cameras which results in a significantly greater number of credited tackles.

So what’s the issue? Joey Porter II’s cousin has said worse.

Where’s DC? I have some mock drafts that need evaluation. Drafted mostly Iowa TEs. Trying to find one that’s not a marshmallow. :laugh3:
