Rick Carpiniello\’s world of sports

Never saw that before

January

The tarp is off and there is ice on the field, and there are a bunch of guys with brooms sweeping the ice out of the end zone.

I’ve never seen anybody sweep ice off grass with a broom before.

And I wonder if this means the field is going to be slippery, since the tarp and the heat coils under the turf most likely created moisture that surely has frozen, or will freeze, now that it’s exposed, regardless of the heat coils.

At any rate, the ice only appears to be on one side of the field at the moment, and mostly in the end zone … Hmmm. Maybe that’s the Bart Starr quarterback sneak end zone.
