While the field at Levi's Stadium has generated plenty of negative buzz, George Toma isn't buying the heat.After preparing the playing surface for all 50 s, Toma came out Wednesday to defend the facility's sod blend of hybrid bermuda and rye."I'm an 87-year-old man and I've been in this game for 74 years and been to 50 s," Toma told Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area on https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/allen-iverso-jersey Wednesday. cornerback called the field conditions "terrible," safety called the gra s "slippery," and left tackle was reduced to Toma, though, said the only field he'd rank higher was XLI, which pitted 's against the in a pounding rain storm in Miami in February 2007."Sometimes these players are hard-headed," Toma said. "They won't change their cleats and their play suffers. We gave the players the best playing field, a safe playing field. The cheapest insurance for an athlete from Pop Warner to the NFL is a good, safe playing field. And we try to give the fans in the stands and the fans on TV a thing of beauty."I know there's a lot of controversy, but the field played excellent. But the two players that (complained), all they had to do was their change cleats." MVP switched his shoes during the game and later called it a "great field." Still, Levi's has been critiqued before, with Jim Harbaugh short-circuiting a practice se sion in 2014 and Jim Tomsula altering a practice last season, per Maiocco, because of field conditions."When you hear a couple of guys saying it wasn't (good ), that's going to be exposed and picked on a little more because people are kind of waiting in line to say something bad about the field at Levi's Stadium," said West Coast Turf's VP of sales and marketing John Marman. "(Levi's) has a bit of a stigma attached to it. And things have picked up for the better. We were very proud of that field." https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/bob-lanier-jersey
