"Ban turf for ever" - NFL fans voice their opinion after slippery fields at Lucas Oil Stadium for 2025 scouting combine

While the NFL professional players are enjoying their offseason, the college football players showcased their performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, held from February 27 to March 2. at the Lucas Oil Stadium. Several aspiring college football players gave mental and physical tests in front of the NFL coaches, GMs and other officials ahead of the NFL Draft.

However, this year's field of the Lucas Oil Stadium became the talk of the internet after a video of a college football player went viral on social media. The players struggled on the slippery field.

Several fans on X (formerly Twitter) reacted to the video, sharing their opinion of the turf.

"Ban Turf for ever. there are men out there yearning to be groundskeepers," a fan said.

"Players have been sliding around the turf all weekend. Would hate to see somebody go down," one more fan added.

"I tuned back in just as he stood back up and the announcers were like “he’s waving them off.” I figured he just fell on his belly or something. Not completely blew his knees out Jesus Christ," a fan commented.

Some fans were critical of the field and its slipperiness.

"That field has been causing slips in all rounds," one more fan jotted.

"Yep bears just fell in love with him," another fan commented.

"Everybody be sliding on that Indy turf damn," a fan wrote.
