Absolutely horrific. 3/4 of an inch of cheap carpet, no padding, on top of concrete. Seams everywhere. Veterans Stadium in Philly at that time the exact same thing. Getting tackled on it was like playing on a parking lot. The amount of injuries this caused can't be counted. Its kind of crazy to look back at it now with all the advances in football/soccer turf. The current turf that the Vikings had put into U.S. Bank back in March is state of the art and like night and day to that old shitty AstroTurf.
The depressing thing about that video is how much better the home and away uniforms were, by far the best we have ever had. Who ever made the decision to go away from that purple, classic!
