I don't know what you could do. There's been so much rain. The day before the game it absolutely poured. And the day of it rained a bunch too.

Studs usually are made out of metal, unless you wear extreme lightweight shoes and they're made out of plastic. Football cleats can either exchange them or they are glued straight to the shoe. In soccer, I have multiple lengths to adjust to the depth of the pitch, depending on how wet and muddy it turns out to be. Football cleats are similar.

Usually, these studs that you cannot exchange are shorter for drier fields.

We've made hard cuts on a somewhat damp field and slipped heavy. VT ran east and west on a lot of plays and had no problem. The Restrepo play purely happens because of the studs not giving any grip and its a consistent theme with Adidas. @Rellyrell

DOME

Miami playing in a dome would be such a terrible mistake.

I think they need a much better way to protect the field when nobody is on it. I also think they need to invest in more turf management and drainage. I mean, ffs there's an F1 track around the stadium. Figure it out.
 
It's utterly embarrassing for a professional sports organization that has been voted by the NFLPA, to be the best in the biz, to have a field soooooo bad for soooooo long (decades). Never mind the fact that they own a sod farm. I was at the UCF game yesterday and their field was 100x better than HRS, despite it raining in Orlando for 3 straight days (including right before kickoff that delayed the game an hour).

I sincerely worry about injuries to our players all the time, honestly.
 
There was a time when the turf was rated top (5) in NFL .
Obviously there’s been a change in it’s management.

100% of the time it’s upper management that messes things up cutting corners.

Looked like they put down new sod an hour before kickoff. Couple of clips you could see the seams looked like they were spreading apart. I would hope it has some kind of pump/drainage system to handle all of the rain.

Exactly what I mentioned earlier in this thread. It used to be viewed as the standard for stadiums across the country. Last 5-8 years has been crap.
