I'm dumbfounded at how poorly the field was planned out. How did neither team's officials or the event organizers let things play out the way they did. It's like if you rented out a wedding spot and showed up the day of to realize it's a mess.
Yep, and the NFL was in charge of the conversion and they completely botched it. Promoter botched the prices. Learned nothing from Toronto.
He likely should have went to the Raiders at 4. I don't think Jets are regret taking Quinnen, or the 49ers Bosa if Bosa can stay healthy (big question at this point). Two others are pure QB gambles if your QB turns into a good starter they are worth that draft slot due to positional value. The big ones to watch are going to be Clellin Ferrell and Devin White. 4 seemed too high for Ferrell, and 5 is awfully rich in this era for an off-ball linebacker. I wonder if JPP's injury/car accident would have lead the Bucs to take Allen, who seems built for a 3-4 D.

Why? If they were dumb enough to buy the tickets, why should they be felt sorry for? They knew what they were getting into.

Not really? It's the 3rd pre-season game, which traditionally has been the dress rehearsal of sorts where teams play starters for about a half.
Now, I keep up with the NFL very regularly and have seen the pattern of teams playing their starters less and less but I can't blame people who thought they might have got to see AB/Carr/Rodgers/Adams for a half and instead got treated to a f***ing div 2 college game on a fake field.

Raiders were okay with the field it was the crybaby Packers who didn't want to play because there was a round patch the size of a small pail where the CFL goal post (CFL goal post is on the goal line) usually sits, guess the Packer players were a lot tougher years ago when games were played on dirt and grass at the old Brewers ballpark!

At least people in Winnipeg had a hope of seeing Rodgers. Once they didn't like the field, then they sat him. More teams are working out and practicing with each other. There really doesn't need to be any more than one pre-season game given the work starters get, and if they want to run neutral sites, that's fine with me. Maybe bring in 4 teams to play one half each.
Has Winnipeg never taken out the goal posts before for a soccer match?Raiders were okay with the field it was the crybaby Packers who didn't want to play because there was a round patch the size of a small pail where the CFL goal post (CFL goal post is on the goal line) usually sits, guess the Packer players were a lot tougher years ago when games were played on dirt and grass at the old Brewers ballpark!
Bc lions and whitecaps share bc place and it’s not an issue and they have the same turf.
One bad patch and the nfl wines about it? Like playing on the athletics dirt field for 2-4 regular season games is perfectly fine for them though.
Rest of the field is turf. Is it really much different than what Detroit or Minnesota uses in their domes? Around 13 nfl stadiums use turf so it as if players are not used to it plus many colleges use it too.
Not talking European football where they always play on grass for the most part.

Wow, imagine that. The Packers don't want to unnecessarily risk injury to their players in a game that means dick. How awful of them.

It's the TV time they're most worried about. All they have to do is find something more compelling than what they're doing.

Please, a 10” diameter hole filled with turf on top of it is a huge risk?
The NFL did the field and deemed it playable, Gruden even laughed and said there was nothing wrong with the field, Packers used the field excuse to sit starters and rip off the fans in Winnipeg (well those dumb enough to pay higher than NFL regular season prices to watch exhibition football).
Go Vikings!

It's not a huge risk but it's a risk and there's no point in risking your starters in a game that means dick. And they didn't rip anybody off, the promoter did, your problem is with him. If they have an issue, take it up with him and take some time to reflect about how dumb you were to pay those prices for an exhibition game.

No argument with any of your post! And yeah I’m still a Packers fan!
Promoter is a douche!
Eh i don't blame the Packers for being careful especially with Rodgers coming off an injury last season. No reason to even take the smallest risk for a preseason game.
It's all the NFL's fault. IG Field hasn't been in use since like Monday night. They had a full 48 hours to get that stadium ready, but instead them and the promoters ****ed around and screwed over fans even more.
