New sod hasn't had time to grow roots and settle in that was probably a stupid thing to do.

they had the field tarped until it was time to bring the teams out for warm ups. it was also raining during all of the previous games played on the field last week.
according to one of the steelers fan sites from the time warm ups started, to teh teams getting called off the field for "threatening weather" (read as: lightning in the area), to the time that the opening kick off landed, approx .62 inches of rain fell. that was in an hour and 27 mins.
they could have bought every tarp in western pa and come up with the most ingenious weather plan in history, i think the result wouldn't have changed much. mother nature pwns the steelers grounds crew. it happens sometimes.
