Hey, $350,000,000 and highest fan cost index in the NFL doesn't get you what it used to.

Don't worry, I am sure they won't raise the parking TOO much past $35 next year to pay for the field!

It was funny seeing Brady slipping around in the mud....but it would suck to see someone injured because of this field. I remember seeing the big strip of dirt down the middle of the field in preseason....how did the field end up getting this bad? Do they play soccer on it during the Summer?? :confused:

The soccer is not the culprit .Its the concerts as the krafts financed it privately for 400 million its for rent all the time.
During concerts the stage is in the center and the grass does not get sunlight or water damaging the center.Also, the thing was build north to south so sunlight does not get into the field more .

They built a cool heated floor and irrigation system to keep it grass but it did not work.

soccer is played by 150 lbs men not sure they will generate as much damage as a 300 lb line man pushing and shoving.
