The players will win this debate. the question is how soon will they change the fields?

Not all stadiums and situations are the same.  I think any open stadium could change out to natural grass whenever they are told they need to.  However, things are a bit different for existing domed stadiums.  What the Cardinals and Raiders have is neat...but those elements were built into the design.  Going back to retrofit a domed stadium without a retractable roof would be a different ballgame than the other stadiums simply swapping out the turf to grass.

That puts a handful of teams in an interesting position, with the rest of the league able to quickly adapt.  The Lions don't even have room for the cute little grass outside and move it inside trick the Cardinals and Raiders designed their stadiums around.  Ford Field is shoe horned into Detroit right across from the Tigers stadium (literally walk across the street) and they are locked in from all sides with highways and buildings.  Its part of the "charm" they were going after.

      Chubba

      I love Chubba.  Been a fan since I heard about his story when he was at Ok St.  and no doubt his production and progression is impressive, but this is my one nitpick - he was always touted for his speed, having come from a track background, so I am honestly surprised he doesn’t have more breakaway runs for TDs than what he has achieved thus far.  But to be fair, it often feels like he is constantly having to break tackles, so when he breaks the last one where it would just be nothing between him and the end zone, that usually took long enough that a defender from the opposite side of the field got an angle to catch up.  I really hope with the receiver additions, Bryce moving forward with confidence and proving that ending stretch last season wasn’t an aberration, and another year of synergy for the OL, Chubba is gonna have some wide open running this season.  He is definitely special.  Proud of him and happy he is getting rewarded for all his hard work…

      If you're in the left lane, look to the right. Is there someone beside you? Are you soon overtaking someone in the right lane immediately ahead of you? No and no? Then get the fug over. That's how it's supposed to work. Doesn't matter if you're going 100.
