News: PFT: Air quality may be a problem for both Cardinals-49ers and Cowboys-Rams

It dropped to 140 and then to 119 which is the current number.

We’ll find out but I doubt it will be any worse. Some of what we’re going through will carry into next year.

True, Just being able to get to a furcon will be an improvement.

Don't count on it airing at the same time as MNF. Both contracts have exclusive rights and neither of them want that.

They moved a Sunday game to a Monday several years ago, may have been longer. I think because of weather, like a hurricane passing through the area. So moved it back a day for precautions. Since it was on CBS or FOX as I can't recall what teams. I think DTV NFL ST aired it, and the local teams got to show it. But it was not shown on CBS or FOX for the nation to watch.

However, I think they may make an exception with NBC or play it during the day time, since no fans as it will not disrupt the normal routine.

Whaaa??!! I had no idea it wasn't fully enclosed. So they basically built a fancy carport over a regular stadium. It makes no sense to me. It never rains it SoCal, so why build a roof at all if the stadium isn't air conditioned? Strange.

“We were trying to create an expression of Southern California,” said Lance Evans, principal with HKS Architects. “Something that would resonate with this climate and with this place.”

This is something that only Dodger Stadium — embedded into the earth, obsessed with the future and surrounded by palm trees, the landscapes of Elysian Park and, alas, a heroically scaled parking lot — has managed to accomplish in terms of local sports venues.


“It’s all about how the stadium is part of the landscape and the landscape is part of the stadium,” said Studio-MLA founder Mia Lehrer, who has designed green spaces for Dodger Stadium and for Banc of California Stadium in Exposition Park. She also is imagining the surroundings for the forthcoming Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

In classic SoCal fashion, the stadium, its edges open to the outdoors along the sides, blurs the line between interior and exterior, inviting visitors, and views, inside. It pulls in ocean breezes through its aerodynamic shape, its permeable flanks, the lifting of its seating bowl above the ground-level concourse and massive (60 feet by 60 feet) adjustable openings in its roof that can slide like sunroofs on cars. These openings can “tune” the wind flow, according to HKS, which designed recent stadiums for the Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys."

On the bright side we’ll be watching a full slate of NFL football tomorrow which didn’t look possible six months ago.

A full slate of NFL football tomorrow assuming they don’t postpone the Cowboys/Rams game. The last thing I was worried about was air quality canceling a game.

Is lower better or higher better?

Lower is better. If the air quality registers above 200 we’re in trouble.

Only a flurry of fire tornados could stop the cowboys opening game. Dam you west coast.

Correct. In 2014, they played Bills Jets in Detroit before the MNF game between Philly and Carolina

How are we in trouble in an inside stadium?

 

[speedkilz88]

Is lower better or higher better?

Lower is better, it's gone up a little to 126.

0-50 Green/Good
51-100 Yellow/Moderate
101-150 Orange/Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
151-200 Red/Unhealthy
201-300 Purple/Very Unhealthy
301-500 Maroon/Harzardous

Hope the games don't get canceled!! that would suck big time even though I cant watch them.

Yeah, and the first game ever may be moved to another venue because of the lack of foresight.

Typical.

As stated in previous posts in this thread it isn’t an inside enclosed stadium. The sides of the stadium are open air. They didn’t think this very thorough obviously. I mean, it’s not like forest fires are a rare thing in California.
