Taylor Says Heinz Field Is Lawsuit Waiting To Happen
2nd January, 2008 - 9:28 am
ESPN - Fred Taylor isn't worried as much about the Pittsburgh Steelers' home-field advantage as he is their bad field.

Taylor, the Jaguars' star running back, chided the Steelers on Tuesday for their substandard grass field. He also suggested they spend $1 million on artificial turf to improve one of the NFL's worst playing surfaces.

The Jaguars play an AFC wild-card game in Pittsburgh on Saturday night, their second visit there in less than a month.

"That field is terrible," Taylor said in a conference call with Pittsburgh reporters. "That's a lawsuit pending. That's ridiculous."

Taylor's comments were unexpected only because he ran for 147 yards and the winning touchdown on that snow-covered, mushy field during Jacksonville's 29-22 victory in Pittsburgh on Dec. 16. [READ]
