That's gotta be a typo . . . You'd think they'd want it in this spring to get the roots nice and strong by September

Barrows has fixed it now - well done Webzone. April makes me feel a lot better. We would lead the league in knee and ankle injuries otherwise.

The NFL has a requirement for number of weeks a new field must be installed before a game can be played on it. Levis is right up against that requirement.

Yeah, when I read that I thought it was definetly a typo. No way their laying the field in August.

That was just a bad typo because there's a SJ 'Quakes game in Levi's like August 4th (maybe 2nd?). Whatever the case, field will be getting installed in about a week.

I guess that rule doesn't apply to the raiders and their infield replacement and the resodding of fields in between the hashes. Usually stadiums will do those in just 2 weeks with a bye or away game.
