It\u2019s 16 degrees in Kansas City. And the field is responding accordingly.<\/p>\n
Appearing on NFL Network\u2019s GameDay Morning, Chargers radio analyst (and NFLN draft expert) Daniel Jeremiah said that the field at Arrowhead Stadium is \u201cconcrete\u201d and \u201ccompletely solid.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2016, the Chiefs installed a $2.2 million heating system<\/a> under the field. <\/p>\n Ten days ago, the NFL held a media conference call regarding playing surfaces, with commentary about acceptable hardness of the surface and other topics. If Jeremiah\u2019s assessment of the field is accurate, it would be interesting to know whether the field passed. (Three years ago, a late-season Panthers game resulted in a grievance<\/a> over the hardness of the field.)<\/p>\n Then again, what would happen if it didn\u2019t? Would they send everyone home and say \u201ccome back tomorrow\u201d? That\u2019s the biggest flaw in the entire process. There\u2019s no effective way to cancel a game and make it up \u2014 unless the visiting team sticks around until the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s 16 degrees in Kansas City.
