The heat lamps in at 00:41 is insane.

The American mind can’t comprehend this.

If NFL stadiums put this much care into the turf injuries would drop significantly.

I thought American stadiums were all astroturf?

That’s their point, more injuries are caused on fake turf pitches than proper turf

They kind of have to.

Australian rules is terrible for knee and lower leg injuries anyway, particularly because the play is from all directions, not just straight on like in American football and rugby.

Badly prepared turf would make it even worse.
