Welcome to Gaia! ::

What a.... boring game. steelers win it 3-0.

I did not think that the game was boring. Who wanted to see a blowout? (it actually reminded me of the game played in London between the Dolphins and the Steelers).

...How many times in your life will you see an NFL game, played on such a horrible field, with bad weather? It wasn't very exciting, I'll give you that.

...But it was interesting, funny, and tough. I enjoyed seeing that old-skool style football game. It was full of history, as it was the longest game without a score (59 mins 40 secs), and tied the least total points in a game (other than a tie). It was also the lowest scoring Monday Night Football game.

Although the field was not so permitting, both the Dolphins and the Steelers played great defense. It was a hard-core, tough and muddy game that I actually don't mind seeing once in a blue moon.

You just answered your on question...

The problem was allowing four non-professional football games take place on the field, when an important game was coming up, with lots of rain in the forecast.

No offense, but your conditions were better.

You guys had an advantage. Like you stated, you were able to "sink into the mud," and at least get a grip on the field. At Heinz, this past Monday, it was layered grass installed over the real field. That's little or no drainage, with constant rain, so the players barely got any grip. A layer of water was present over every square inch of the new field, and the players kind of "glided" over the water. It was fun to watch, though.
