*** OFFICIAL OAKLAND RAIDERS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS GAME THREAD *** WK9 Sunday Night

I was at the Canes game tonight. Got into my seat an hour before kickoff. New field looked pristine. Then it couldn't withstand a simple pregame warmup without being noticeably chewed up. They had a sod crew out there before kickoff and also at halftime.

It's still markedly better than last week or any time since the beginning of the season. Shouldn't be a problem for the Dolphins tomorrow. Rain is indeed the key variable. This field with this roofing situation cannot tolerate activity during rain or shortly after rain. Fortunately we are toward the end of the peak rain season in South Florida.

This would actually be a competent field for a USFL scenario, playing in the spring. Miami is often drought-like during spring.

The greatest improvement this season is parking lot grass and parking lot conditions in general. They resodded those areas and also newly paved the parking lot roadways. Consequently you can walk around without traipsing through mud every step. It looks good. The white lines on the grass to designate parking spots also looks good. They must have planted the grass early because it took and did not get ruined via the rain we did have earlier in the season. That's the first example I can think of in three years of renovation that something was obviously done early enough and not raced toward completion as the season neared.

Really like the improvements to the parking lot ..if they get the field situation straightened it will be in good shape and continue to be a venue for big games.

It’s a totally different feel walking up to the stadium then before IMO.
 
Maybe we can recruit Bruce Dickinson to play QB. Is there anything that guy can't do?

Watching Ajayi in Philly. Running back by committee isn't going to go well with him if he really was crying about his carries here. Also Philly's offensive play design make Gase look even more of a pop warner coach.

Just ran through and actual hole for a TD.
 
Ajayi gets his first rushing TD this year on his 5th attempt there. Solid.
