For the second time in just a few years, the Packers found themselves in an odd situation caused by poor conditions on a non-NFL field for a preseason game.
In 2016, the Hall of Fame Game at Canton’s Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium was supposed to be between the Packers and the Indianapolis Colts. However, a bizarre situation with congealed paint on the field left it unsafe for the players, and the game was ultimately canceled.
Then, last night, the Packers and Oakland Raiders met in Winnipeg, Canada at IG Field, the home of the CFL’s Blue Bombers.
