If you believe that, I have a ****ing bridge to sell you. In Mexico. The NFL could have resodded that field and had the game there with perfect field conditions if they wanted to... There was a mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks about a week before the game, AND a bunch of wildfires burning up Southern California at that time. They talked about it all game long, and about how good it was for the residents of Socal to get their mind off the tragedies they were enduring, etc. The game was moved back to LA to allow the Rams to put on a show for the LA fans in a time of strife, to allow those people to connect with a team that had just moved there. It was a heartstrings win, and the NFL wanted it in front of their hometown crowd. Think about it. |

Arrowhead was resodded between the Colts game and the Patriots game in the playoffs last Jan : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbs...last-week/amp/ Only an absolute moron believes that they couldn't resod that field with a week before the game. Shut the **** up and get the **** out of here with that ignorant bullshit. |

Arrowhead was resodded quickly because they were maintaining a greatly kept field. Azteca was a mess and no sane person on the players union would have any confidence that their incompetent grounds crew could pull a miracle off given that the field was destroyed because of stadium incompetence. The idea that the NFL would uproot a major spectacle like this at the 25th hour for petty reasons is ridiculous. |

Arrowhead was resodded with something like 90 hours before the AFCGC. If the NFL was adamant about playing in Mexico, they could've shipped sod AND a competent grounds crew to Mexico City to install the sod in time... |

And if it was about the shooting and wild fires, why were chiefs players also protesting playing on the field? |

We all saw the pictures and not a single chiefs fan felt comfortable with our players playing there. |

If the Rams had defeated the Saints week 9, the Chiefs Rams game would have been played in Mexico City.
That is all there is to it, no matter what the tooth fairy and Santa Claus and the great pumpkin say about it. |

The idiots running the stadium put sod in a day or two before the very first use. Hybrid grass takes about 15 days to take root. Without a foundation the resod will be total shit. It's not their first rodeo. They constantly resodded for soccer and the field was total shit and players constantly complained about it. Then the field went to total shit soon after which isn't supposed to happen. The field was in shitty shitty condition and it was made a lot worse by stupidly planning a huge concert right before the Rams chiefs game. Mexico could have put a lousy but passable turf in time for the game but the players and the players union nixed it.
The players pressured the NFL to move it, not the other way around. That is totally ridiculous to think the NFL would want to cancel that kind of major international spectacle unless they absolutely had to. |
