Playing on the Same Field

It's hard to believe that the Oakland Raiders play in a stadium that also has baseball games. Multi-sport facilities are relics of the past. They can make for some very awkward site lines.

I went to a baseball game in Oakland back in the 90's. The Raiders had recently constructed some luxury boxes. It was easy to notice that the stadium was not conducive to football.

I think it's a bad idea to have a baseball infield as part of the gridiron. The Raiders were planning to put turf down for Sunday's game because the baseball season is over.

Loose turf can always cause problems for both teams. I would like to see the league have a uniform playing.surface for all teams. I doubt it will happen because of stadium ownership issues across the league.
