This is odd that the NFL wouldn't require it be covered.
Earlier in the year, the state semis (HS) were held at Wilson Stadium in Buffalo. They originally had planned to have some games on Saturday but had to scrap them and move them to Friday night (10 pm kickoff!) because the NFL had a rule that the field had to be unused for 24 hours prior to a contest. The Bills were home for a 1pm kickoff on Sunday that week. Now, this is an AstroPlay field - how chewed up will it get?!
Yet New England can let their field turn into a mud pit. If the point of the rule is to make sure NFL surfaces are in top condition, how can they let this slide?
