Chiefs Reid could care less about altitude - Page 5

wheeler08 · 11-12-2018, 07:52 AM

3. The Rams are scheduled to work in Colorado Springs, at altitude, for a week beginning Tuesday, because Mexico City is 1.3 miles above sea level. The Chiefs studied that and chose to stay in Kansas City for the week before making the 3.5-hour flight Sunday. Coach Andy Reid told me, “The elevation’s the elevation. I’m sure the Rams are gonna work at elevation. We’re not. I don’t think it becomes an issue. We did our homework on that this past offseason. It doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the parking lot of the CVS.”

From Peter King.
Should we be worried about our guys getting gassed? Or is it the equivalent of not stretching before the D Day Invasion?

All of the previous talk about the field conditions doesn't do the situation justice when you see the photo.

The field will be fine. It's always been fine when prepared for soccer, why would this time be any different?

Because soccer isn't a real sport so field conditions aren't as important? And there have been issues with the field conditions during soccer games/matches as well.

The field is actually MORE important in soccer.

You use your ACL standing, moving in line at McDonald's... doesn't make that action a sport.

Do you usually run 7 miles while in line at McDonald's?

And the field doesn't look so "fine" during soccer matches:

apparently until recently it had a reputation for being great . Then they apparently began overbooking the stadium and changed the turf and fired the head landscaper.
