It’s just about game time. In theory. The Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders are getting ready to head out on the turf at IG Field in Winnipeg to get the teams’ third preseason game underway. However, the turf is putting the game in question, the second time in four seasons that a Packers preseason game is having major issues thanks to shoddy field conditions.
