The Baltimore Ravens have officially begun to replace the field turf in M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens have had field turf since 2003.
A part of me is feeling rather sentimental about this news. That was the field Corey Redding intercepted Drew Brees to beat the Saints in 2010. That was the field that Ed Reed blocked a punt that sparked a 17 point comeback against the Seahawks. Ray Lewis’s last game in Baltimore was on that field.
In the grand scheme of things this probably won’t be a big deal. Steve Bisciotti is heralded as one of the most passionate owners in the NFL; it is hard to imagine he’d allow the Ravens grass field to be anything short of impeccable.
