Last week, Camden Yards in Baltimore hosted a sport other than baseball for the first time in its 33-year history. And one week of football practice was enough to trigger a full replacement of the playing surface.<\/p>\n

Via Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun, the Rams will pay to re-sod the field<\/a>. It will be \u201cmore extensive than the typical offseason\u201d maintenance, and the first full resodding at the facility since 2023.<\/p>\n

The Rams agreed to replace the surface as part of the deal that allowed them to spend in the week in Baltimore, between a game against the Ravens and a trip to London for a game against the Jaguars. <\/p>\n

The project, which will include \u201creplacement of both grass and some of the sand beneath it,\u201d illustrates the wear and tear that football inflicts on a grass field \u2014 and it\u2019s another reason why many NFL owners prefer the lower costs associated with having artificial turf.<\/p>\n

But the owners clearly can afford to pay for high-quality grass. They do it when they have to. Like when bidding to host World Cup matches. Or when in need of a temporary practice facility during a two-game swing on the other side of the country, and then across an ocean.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the expense, the excursion was successful for the Rams. They won both games by a combined score of 52-10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week, Camden Yards in Baltimore hosted a sport other than baseball for the first time in its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-239144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
