Thanks @tylerm047 . Hard to pick just 4, but my time at East Lake, Turner Field, Suntrust Park, and Mercedes Benz Stadium are all represented. I nominate @NPappas23 @realparkmcglone @blackwellglen_ and @DawtyStawty to keep it going. – at Georgia, USA

The NFL dodged its worst-case scenario with the field in Brazil. The Ravens walked off the Cowboys, while the heavily scrutinized field held up without any major issues.

The NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Madrid will be played tomorrow at the newly renovated Santiago Bernabeu. The field is stored in an underground greenhouse with automated mowers, irrigation, and LED lighting. It's easily the NFL’s best international venue ever.

No two football fields are the same. When clubs play internationally, @NFL Field Director @NPappas23 and his crews have often been on site for weeks (and sometimes months) in advance, preparing the field for the unique needs of an NFL game: bit.ly/4qd4ALu
