PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not a fan of the Acrisure Stadium playing surface. The surface saw multiple players slip, including Steelers kicker Chris Boswell, who fell down on his final field goal attempt of the game.

Luckily, he did not get injured.

“Thankfully Bos [Chris Boswell] took care of those kicks before the field got borderline unplayable,” Rodgers said

Rodgers expanded upon that thought when asked about the field, mentioning that most players wear seven-studded cleats so they can grip better on grass surfaces.

However, he mentioned that the field got beat up over the entire game, and that is something that should be looked at over the course of the next few weeks.

“I couldn’t tell pregame, no. I just felt like it got real beat up. By the time the third quarter rolled around, that thing was really beat up, so I feel bad about what happened to Miles [Killebrew]. I’m not sure if, you know, there was any carry there. I know the field gets a lot of play. I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t wear a seven-studs cleats. Some guys are opposed to that and they just want to wear moldeds, but it reminds me a little bit of the field in Green Bay in the early years, but not until, like, November or early December where it would get kind of torn up a little bit. Then they went out and found an incredible, you know, field maintenance guy that would come over and help our guys out, and the field in Green Bay is absolutely immaculate, but the field today got pretty torn up,” Rodgers said.

The Steelers share the field with the Pittsburgh Panthers, but the field had not been used all week. Pitt played on the road in Tallahassee at Florida State.

Pittsburgh has two weeks until they return home for their game against the Green Bay Packers where the grounds crew will look into making the field much more playable, especially with a game the day before when Pitt hosts NC State.
