The college games are played on a different field turf. The Raiders' field rolls outta the stadium. A $2 billion stadium buys a lot. If these boys can't run on grass, I don't know what to say. They're gonna have to do it again at Cleveland.

That field was all chewed up before the game started. It’s not the players fault the field was trash. It’s the stadium crew and the owner. If you can’t maintain a decent grass field then you should be using turf. That simple. Looked almost as bad as Heinz field a few years ago before they finally broke down and re-sodded it mid season.

Have you seen the owner's haircut? You may be right, but it had nothing to do with other games being played there. I don't see the point of having an indoor grass field myself.

Vegas turf...BAD!

It might explain why both sides' passing game was so weak. If the receivers couldn't cut and quickly change direction, you aren't able to run a lot of different route combinations.

If we the bengals can afford it then anyone should be able to.

I don't know how Vegas allowed that field to be pure trash. The Oakland Coliseum during baseball season had a better field than the crap we played on today.

[*Go Cards*]

Vegas definitely has the money, so really don't see how its even excusable at all.

Very odd.  Seemed like the Bengals didn't know they wheel grass in and out and they were wearing turf shoes.

Playing on different surfaces is BS. The league mandates everything from helmets to jockstraps. They ought to mandate one field surface, be it turf, grass, whatever and make every team install it. IMO there is simply no reason any NFL team should not have field turf.

I heard someone say Mixon switched cleats at the half, I was wondering why he waited that long. First time he slipped, he should have had the equipment manager ready to swap out his cleats.

Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said the wrong cleats.  I didn't know the Death Star had that mobile grass field.  I don't really get it.  The turf of today is awesome.   Regardless, it is Home Sweet Home for 5 of the next 7.

You totally nailed it lol. 

On topic: Strange about the field considering it's such an expensive stadium.

For what it’s worth, Mixon probably lost at least 30 yards yesterday due to the grass at Allegiant Stadium.

It was completely ripped up. They tried to patch it with green sand. You could see the carpet underneath at some spots. pic.twitter.com/i8vR87eyAN

That's the kind of BS that will get a player hurt. The NFL should step in and mandate turf.

That is a lot of dough for a field that crappy...
