Hall of Fame Game canceled due to poor playing conditions on the field

A year ago, the Steelers faced the Vikings in a mostly meaningless Hall of Fame Game. The lasting memory from that night was that Pittsburgh kicker Shaun Suisham tore his ACL while trying to make a tackle on a field that had been previously criticized for its poor condition.

Fast-forward 12 months and the 11-year-old FieldTurf at Benson Stadium has been replaced by the artificial surface taken from the SuperDome in New Orleans -- and yet concerns remain for player safety.
