Yes, the poor weather is hard to control, but the number of activities scheduled to use the field could have been. So it might have a correctable issue.

 

Now there is a huge issue about refunding those attending the game...

Isn't the air in terrible shape in LA at the moment because of the fires?

 

The fires are slightly more North, and further west of L.A.  The Santa Ana winds are actually clearing out smoke in the L.A. area (but making the fire struck areas worse)-

Maybe a big chunk of the ticket proceeds can go towards the people of California displaced or those that lost their lives in the fire - just a thought.

Whoever allowed that concert to happen should be fired. They should have had this game as the #1 priority. Mexico city is missing out on a ton of money because of this. 

exactly, I heard entire Caravans of people were traveling to this game, guess now they just turn back and go home..... lmao

i dont know that i agree with that, the stadium wasnt built just for nfl games.  the shakira concert and soccer games are more appropriate than an american football game in mexico

They shouldn't have scheduled a game there if they can't accommodate it.   This will hurt their chances at getting another game

Good, if I played for the Rams (or if I was a Rams fan), I'd be furious about having a home game taken away from you against one of the best teams in the league.

Fans? Did you see the Rams “home game” against the Packers? The Rams had do a silent count because the packer fans outnumbered the rams fans!  At least in Mexico they had a chance of a 50/50 crowd lol

The concert happened long enough ago that they could have re-sodded the entire field if they wanted to. In fact they didn't even start a week later, so it shows how much they really care about the NFL.

 

Well, they played 'futball' on the field since that concert, in very bad conditions.  It goes way back according to these reports-

    • And yet, PFF didn't grade him all that high last year.  My response to this is that the scheme is designed for the MLB and the SS to make most of the tackles.  And they do. But last year, Franklin allowed a 77% completion rate with 10.2 yards per completion, and 7.9 yards per target.  In summary, he makes a lot of tackles by scheme, but he also allows a lot of completions. I don't think of him a Great.  Or even Good.  He's Fair.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FranZa00.htm  
    • Probably still won’t shut people up lol. But that is interesting  We are 3 games in after a shoulder surgery. What are you talking about.
    • Every bottom feeder team has a good player or two. Are the colts a bottom feeder? At times they play like it.    the “forum GMs” as you call them, don’t dislike when a player does well. They just hate when the team sucks. There’s nothing wrong with that. And no one here says some of the Colts players aren’t good players.    the Colts stunk it up pretty bad in the first two weeks, lost game one again a stat that we have held for over a decade. In must win games, the colts perform exceptionally awful with a mind boggling level of consistency under this regime.    the good players that the Colts have tend to also not show up in those games and make any game changing plays.    ok so Franklin can tackle. So what? Yeah the forum GMs are shaking with rage because of that!   
    • The huge difference is that you could see the progress in peytons game and how he always learned and keept going. and in year two, he really took off and started to show why we picked him.   With AR, things just getting worse, game after game... I wouldn't mind if we traded him for some picks next season.
    • AR is a huge BUST   Hope we draft Arch Manning in to or three years time and move on from this trainwreck of a QB we currently have
