Wow, that's absolutely unbelievable, shocking embarrassing and enfuriating. I hope someone has to reimburse the fans for tickets, travel and lodging.

Tom Bensons stadium also

So let me get this straight... December and January games on a slippery frozen field covered in snow is ok, but a sticky logo in the end zones is too dangerous to play on?
Seriously?

I get your point but with this being pretty much a non important game how angry would you be if your star WR/RB etc did his knee turning badly on a sticky field 4 weeks before the season starts with no chances of getting a good level replacement.

Hope Mr. Benson feels good about giving all that money to them. He dumps $10 million into that stadium and this is what they have to show for it.
