I understand that the weather in Cincinnati might not be ideal or the safest right now, but this field at UCLA is natural grass (I think), and I'd like us to be practicing on the turf so we can get used to it. The weather is in the 60s out there (I think), so the heat won't be a problem, but I'm wondering about the grass and turf thing.
I do like us going out early to get used to the time change (I don't know if Thursday would give us enough time) and to give us more time to get into a routine.
Am I wrong about the grass and turf thing? Do you think it will matter?
The Bengals have a turf field, so I'm sure they are used to the artificial surface. As long as SOFI field is in good shape, I doubt there is an advantage either way.
