I never played in the Hoosier Dome, but I took a tour their shortly after it opened back when I was 11 or 12.
I was shocked at the playing surface. It was like concrete with a one inch or so thin pad of felt grass on top of it. I couldn't imagine diving, falling, tackling, kneeling or even running on that for a quarter, let alone a whole game.
Glad the new stuff is so much better.
Now anyone have some comments on Quenton Nelson's jockstrap technology?
The offseason is SO DAMN LONG in this league. Can't wait for even preseason in three weeks.
