Turf fire Live
Looks like sparks from Rams pregame intro fireworks caught fire near south end zone. Nothing major, but grounds crew out. #turfburn

Oh, well. The Rams can't even get their pregame introductions off without a hitch. Pyrotechnics caused a field issue. So we sit and wait.

Referee John Hussey says field will be ready to go in about 10 minutes. You have time to heat up that popcorn at home. #turfburn

Now the Rams and Steelers are heading back to the locker room. Will the NFL hold this fiasco against the STL? (Just kidding. Sort of.)

Chaotic traffic outside The Ed due to the many Pittsburgh folks looking to park, so the delayed game start is fortuitous.

Rams might not want to run a sweep toward that damaged turf with Gurley today. Know this franchise's recent luck . . .

I get it #Rams. If I see a spider, my immediate reaction is to burn it with fire. #SteelersRams #TheFieldTheFieldTheFieldIsOnFire

Dad: "Don't tell me about the game!" Me: "Dad there is no game." Dad: "Don't talk about the game." Me: "DAD we set the field on fire!" #Rams

Somebody see what kind of insurance policy the #Rams owner has on the dome. Any reason to get the team to L.A. right?

The #Rams shouldn’t have stored all those oily rags and old newspapers so close to the field. #TurfFire #NFL

I know the #Rams are desperate for a new stadium in STL, but I didn't think they'd resort to arson to get it...

#Rams were so sad that the #Steelers didn't wear their throwback bee outfits for todays game, they set the field on fire! We feel you, Rams!

The “spot that caught fire” may get more camera time in the first quarter than the #Rams offense at this rate

Stan Kroenke tried to burn down the stadium before the game today so he could move the #Rams to Los Angeles. #PITvsSTL #fieldonfire

Setting their own field on fire is the most exciting thing that's happened to the #Rams since Kurt Warner.

It's possible #rams were smart enough to realize only way to stop @AntonioBrown84 was to set turf on fire.
Probable?
