You are being very kind!I actually practiced on it in the 70's,Schafer Stadium in Foxboro,it was concrete a 1/2 inch rubber sheet and outdoor carpet.The field had an arch to it,if you where on one sideline looking across the field you could not see from the knees on down on the other side.Kick a ball(punt in the middel of the field and you never knew which way it would go.When it got wet they would roll it to squeze out the water .The carpet burns were the worst.
