Turf Issues

[IndyD4U]

According to Twitter and local media the field is terrible. Player safety a major concern for tonight. 

 

How and the hell does this even happen?

Good thing the Olympics are on

[BlueShoe]

Watching it too. LOL

[Ja'Crispy]

I'm right outside of the stadium, eager to go in and watch my Colts...

Sounds like you may not make it in, and it's possible if you do then it may end being a scrimmage instead of a game. 

[MTC]

Welp.

 

 

[Smonroe]

Apparently it was the paint they used to do the logos.  They may not even play the game. 

[HorseFly]

They've reported players are saying it's like walking on tar, and don't want to be on it.  I don't blame them.  That's all we need is players' feet sticking and knees, ankles, hips going out.

 

I was looking forward to the first game, but I hope now it's not happening.  No injuries.

[MTC]

Jason La Canfora said teams have been informed the game has been cancelled. 

 

Oh well. 

 

Why did they let fans in anyway?

[Malakai432]

This is ridiculous, I was really amped for this game tonight. 

[Timo1]

Good now cancel the 4 other pre season games and hopefully no one get hurt.

This is comical someone could use the wrong paint  Man as Randy Moss said someone is going to lose their job. I have seen it all now!

Ohhh yeah and rightfully so, highly deserving.  You have to suck very terribly managing to screw the first NFL preseason game up so bad to the point where it can't be played.

Pathetic. That is all I have to say about it

I know, a lot of people were waiting for this, not just Colts and Packers fans but just Football fans in general. Imagine the people that are there?? What a huge blunder! I was ready to watch some Football as well but it is what it is.

[CamMo]

well....................

[JlynRN]

Wow unbelievable !!  Did they not know beforehand that the field was in that poor of shape??  No need to risk injuries for a meaningless game tho.

[AZColt11]

Well this is a bummer.  But I'm all for nobody getting hurt so it is what it is.

[Nadine]

my nephew is there.  Made his reservations in January.

Not a total loss because he got to meet his hero Bob Sanders.

But, when you plan a weekend like this......you buy tickets, you expect to see a game

You keep using that word.  I don't think it means what you think it means.

This is asinine

Yeah that stinks. At least he got to meet Bob but not having a game stinks especially when you there live.

He's an out of control colts fan.  He's really fun to go to a game with.  His wife is an uber green bay fan.  They were so excited!

They were posting pics yesterday and it looked like they had a lot of fun.  I know not seeing the game is pretty terrible but I bet they are still glad they went.

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

Man I just found out this sucks,

[RockThatBlue]

Hopefully the folks that got tickets get a refund.

 

How in the world do you screw something like that up? Wow.

[oldunclemark]

  Don't you paint the field the day before the game?

  Don't you use the same stuff you used last year?

Did somebody tear up the field this week?

 

Don't they know what they're doing?

[Nadine]

I really want to know how they managed to screw this up.  Isn't this the NFL's thing? Shouldn't they have made sure crews knew exactly what to do? Field is MASSIVELY IMPORTANT

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

Brady's ball boy must of did it .

It simply means unbelievable, which to me this is unbelievable due to the sheer stupidity of whoever was in charge.

[AZColt11]

I think the answers to those questions would be a fat "no".
