[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 152260, member: 288"] Say it ain't so... Editorial: We'll miss the celebration, but we'll take the points [url]http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070517/GPG06/705170560/1269/GPGopinion&GID=pKHhsNmNepuBsNeEvVxLQTWRl7pr8b0M8rX4utjL6KQ%3D[/url] Is this the end of a cherished image? The Green Bay Packers are spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million for a new playing surface at Lambeau Field that will feature a mixture of real grass and synthetic GrassMaster fibers. We won't quibble with the necessity of this project, but we are a bit concerned by two consequences brought to our attention by the Packers fields manager Allen Johnson. An improved drainage and heating system with a base of sand, not clay, will mean a less muddy field late in the season. And a flattened playing surface will mean less Lambeau leaping, especially among those players who have more girth to lift. Part of our Packers mythological memory is a linebacker big as a dump truck, uniform stained with the mud and dirt of the field, recovering a fumble, rambling into the end zone, then hurtling into the arms of the overjoyed first row faithful. So this season it may be clean uniforms and a polite bow to the fans. We'd still settle for the six points. [/QUOTE]
