Don't Worry About Medlock!!!

I just learned something about kicking at Heinz Field. I don't know if anybody has said anything about this but it's nice to know. the playing surface at Heinz Field is natural grass. The field features underground heating to help the grass survive Pittsburgh's winter climate. As a result, the field is known for its difficult kicking surface; the only field goal over 50 yards was 51 yards, kicked by Pat McAfee of the West Virginia Mountaineers during the Backyard Brawl on November 16, 2006. The NFL record for kicking is just 50 yards, set by Jeff Reed in the 2006 season. In 2006, the NFL Players Association conducted a poll in which the grass at Heinz was selected as the worst grass field in the league. Don't worry Panther Fans, the grass is just really bad and Medlock should prove to be the kicker we know he is.
