If it's 20 degrees Sunday, field will be more frozen than muddy

PrintNew turf was laid at Heinz Field right before the Pitt/WV game just over a week ago. The Steelers played on the road last week. So that field has had only 1 game played on it. Plus, if it really is in the 20s, it will harden up, yet not be rock hard.
The result? Expect a faster field than everyone is predicting. That should help the Cowboys.
It will be the wind, more than the turf, that will affect play. I expect us to have a game plan similar to our victory in Washington, where the swirling wind kept Romo from chucking it deep. He's just got to be careful not to throw those slant passes to Steelers.

I heard they have heating coils under the turf
So let’s hope they don’t turn them on and turn the field into a mud pit.
