I don't know why this stadium has artificial surface. Grass should be able to grow in LA weather. Just a really weird ownership decision, in my opinion.

$$$$

The way that stadium is built it looks like there is plenty of light for grass to grow. My guess is that they envision a lot of uses for that stadium and probably feel that real grass would be torn up a lot. Plus it's easier to convert from AT to dirt to concrete for various events. That was an expensive stadium and they have to have some way to recoup their $6 billion.

If the Niners only win two more games this year, I hope it's against this bunch of @$$ wipes.

Obviously, from my username, you can see my allegiances but I did not come here to stir the pot. I enjoy seeing what fans of the opposing team are seeing each week leading up to a game. That said, do you even watch football? Donald a punk? Refs turn a blind eye? Do you, by chance, see this exchange?

I don't think they have a receiver capable of owning

Agree, and a typical stadium like Levi and the Rams stadium probably will cost a billion+ easy and I think it's partly or fully financed by the NFL itself. They need that venue to make money quick. Of course, as a typical football fan, I can give a Ratz Azz about the NFL and their billions comming in from Advertisments and subscriptions. I just want my star players 💯% healthy. Employee salaries of a corporation are typically one of the biggest expense items on a profit and loss statement.

Nacua stepped up in week one, no doubt about it. Him and Atwell are a force. Throw in Higbee and that's a lot of firepower in the passing game. However, I think Nacua and Atwell come back to earth in week two, with Higbee having his typical strong showing. But I'll take Nacua and Atwell over Kupp any day. Kupp is a beast.

As I said before, this is a game where Wilks is going to earn his paycheck.

That's really good research.

Stafford can still sling it. But SEA's pass rush is bad so let's see how Stafford likes a muddy pocket. Shut down the LAR run game then tee off on Stafford.
