STUPID question... BUT ??????

[spanky2]

I had Cincy playing on REAL GRASS !!!!!!!!
Are they on artificial ?????
Also, are Bears on Real grass this year at 'the high school stadium????

Perhaps I should have my ENTIRE LIST of surfaces updated.... Man, I can't believe I am that stupid !!!!!!(yes I can)
Can somebody help me on the up -date.I don't know what the Bears are on in Champagne,Ill.-I had them down as Real grass..
Thanks guys SPANKY>>>>

The are in a temporary location this year, unsure of the surface though for some reason I thought it was like field-turf, that combo turf that feels more like grass. Unsure though

 

[spanky2]

Here is the list I am using.. Can you guys see any mistakes. Thanks for ANYBODY that knows ,this is AMAZING !!!!
- GRASS - ARTIFICIAL
S. Fran. Philly
N.Y.G. Buff
Tenn. Minny
Jets Cincy
Arizona Atlanta
Wash. Indy
Balt. Det.
Carol. St.L.
Bears(this year) Seat.
San. D. New Orl.
K.C. Dallas
Clev.
G.B.
Jacks
Miami
Denver
Oakland
T.Bay
Houst.
Pitt.
New Eng. WELL, that's all 32 . I just refuse to believe it's that hard to be 100% SURE (I tried NFL.com,but no good).
There is only a couple I' m not sure (like Chic. and Cincy). But I thought I would double -check these.
Are'nt most of you guys from the U.S. ????Don't MOST of us bet pro football??? Don't we have information at our fingertips(not me ,I lost my NorthCoast N.F.L. Book,so that is why I'm asking this moronic question. Shit, I feel like a fool,EVERY person who bets football REALLY should know what surface each and every team plays on !!!!
Anyway, thanks for the input....Spanky......

Cincy also plays on the turf-grass combo.

 

[Valuist]

Did Cincinnati just put in field turf this year? They definitely were playing on grass the two previous seasons.

 

[spanky2]

Thanks guys,I appreciate it.
Gee, I made a nice 'list' of all teams and surfaces I "had them playing on",on it looks like crap and a little hard to read perhaps .
I watched the Bears a week ago ,and it looks like Real Grass they were playing on in Champagne.Shit, I am such an idiot sometimes, I only noticed today I had Cincy on the Real stuff-W.T.F. is up with that. That now becomes a play for me.
Spanky........

 

[spanky2]

t... What the hell,now I am in a state of confussion ( as usual)...

Got to have the CORRECT info. to handicap games ,and the Field is VERY inportant in my methods..
Thanks once again, we SHALL get it yet

Spanky -

Part of the problem here...you should have THREE types of surfaces listed now, not two. There's grass, astroturf, and fieldturf. The two 'turf's are very different.

The ASTRO is the old style, with a cement underlayer...the kind of stuff that was getting players injured. But lots of stadiums still have it. FIELD is much more like real grass, could probably be considered a "grass" surface since it's more similar to grass than Astro. Bits of rubber tires are crushed up and layered between the blades...you can actually dig into the turf and pull out loose bits of black rubber. The players say it's soft like grass and soft to land on...no cement underneath. I know that Champaign has this FieldTurf stuff, pretty sure Detroit and Seattle have it too. And if Cinci has changed recently, that is probably what they installed too, since I don't think any team is going to install Astroturf anymore.

 

[Valuist]

Field turf is still artificial turf. In terms of speed, it plays just as fast. There's just a little more give than the regular artificial turf. It looks like regular grass but does not play anything like it.

Cincinnati played on artificial turf for years in Riverfront/Cinergy. But according to Steele's NFL preview they only played 1 game on artificial turf last year when they were in Paul Brown Stadium. Watching the Ohio St/U-C game last week, it didn't look like they'd replaced the grass.

Champaign definitely is field turf.

The next question, is Seattle's new stadium grass or turf?

 

[Kronheim]

Seattle's new stadium is field turf

 

[hoss]

Don't really know how this helps any of you guys, but I speak from personal experience.... the field turf you talk about (accurately described by GM) is much, much more tiring to play on than normal astro. Whilst there is much more give in it, it's a bit like running on your bed after a while (I do that a lot ).

It's just possible that some differences may appear in NFL trends on this surface compared to others. Maybe greater chance of points after sustained periods of pressure as defences tire (maybe even favours rushing teams :shrug: ), or perhaps as it's slower the quicker wide receivers will struggle to put as much daylight between themselves + their marker...

Just some ideas I'd thought I'd chip in whilst I was lurking....
Interested if anyone else has any views

I think Houston is playing on artificial? You have texans as a grass field, im not sure but I guess you are wrong (or maybe I am):shrug:
