« Parking advisory for Pats-Jets game | Main | Tarp is coming off »

December 16, 2007

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Morning all --

I don't relish waking up at 6:40 a.m. on a Sunday, but thanks to Mother Nature, that's the situation I was in this morning, as I suppose many folks headed this way for today's game did. The Patriots opened the parking lots around the stadium at 8 a.m., an hour earlier than usual, to accommodate those who got here early, and when we were coming in 20 minutes ago, there were plenty of people braving the elements.

On the field currently, the grounds crew is working hard to clear the snow off the tarp that's covering the FieldTurf. Of course, where they started already has another thin layer of snow re-covering the tarp.

There are also crews in the stands clearing out the piles of snow and funneling it down onto the field, where it is being carried off the field and dumped under the bridge in the north end of the field.

We'll continue to update you as the game gets closer.
