The 94 year-old who's been doing it for 80 years has some thoughts. Doesn't blame the turf itself. Says it was overwatered, wasn't allowed to dry before rolling it into the stadium, wasn't sanded enough, and had a tarp put over it to protect it from halftime rehearsals and started to rot.
He's pissed at the NFL.
