I am with you K train. I like real grass. I loved playing in the rain torn up field sliding in mud and stuff, that was football hardcore style.

Do you know how many times we've redone the field over the years since Heinz was built? Atleast twice a year and once in the offseason. It's ridiculous to keep replacing sod all the time and wasting money for an outdoor stadium in a climate that's not condusive to the type of weather and use that Heinz gets. Please Rooney's, get us field turf, please !

Well I just want to see a nice new field. its not like it cost millions of dollars. i know its not cheap but jeez is it not cheaper to just put turf in and we dont have to redo the field 2 3 times a year. etc.etc. But like house of steel

Try telling that to the roonys they just dont want to spend the money on a new field but they will wast money by keep redoing the field 2 3 times a year

Im lost. Notice my perdictions for the 2007 season below.

Once again, I will draw from my football experience. GRASS KICKS ASS!!!

I also like the slanted lines in the end zone, it's so old school my Grandpa says it's old school. I do think we need the logo at midfield though.

They will keep the lines as long as Pitt football season goes on but I think they get rid of them when the Panthers finish up.

Grass, with no more high school football

I like grass fields too but the problem is that it's not grass by November it just a bunch of nothing with zero footing that causes players to slip, fall down, trip and everything else no matter what cleats they have on.

Yes they get rid of the lines after Pitt is done playing for the year.
