Field Condition

I do not know if there was already a thread about this but the field yesterday was horrible. Three players injured their knees badly, including a kicker. I do think the field had something to do with it, and Joe Buck called it "Dirt with paint over it." - or something along those lines. I thought it was atrocious how bad the field looked for a playoff game with that much time to prepare.

Pete Carrol had this to say about the field:

“It was horrible,” Carroll told Brock & Salk of ESPN 710. “It’s a horrible field. It’s as bad as a field can get for being dry. And it’s too bad, it’s really too bad. And we deserve better. . . . We deserve better. . . . It just was worn out. And there was a lot of slipping and all that kind of stuff.”

“We should just expect to see a better field at that time of year,” Carroll said.

The Redskins Were Done In By Their Own "Crappy" Field

Just searching for some opinions on what happened with the field yesterday and why an NFL team provided such a poor surface to play on. There are hundreds of high schools with better surfaces than that. You can just look around Northern Virginia. What are some thoughts to possible movements since the stadium is 20 years old and obviously the field needs major improvements.
