The Cincinnati Bengals were accused in a story by Pro Football Talk of not removing snow from stadium seats, which the website called an apparent violation of league policy.
The Bengals responded as follows, when reached for comment by PFT: "Seat aisles were prioritized and are in good shape. Seats are easily wiped off and ushers are equipped to help there."
"We'll see what the NFL has to say about the failure of the Bengals to fully comply with the snow-removal rules," PFT's Mike Florio wrote.
Florio also included the following about the NFL's playing field specifications: "Each home club is responsible for having a snow removal plan in place and ensuring that its stadium has adequate snow removal equipment available. Snow and ice must be removed from the stadium before all games. This applies to the playing field, sidelines, seating bowl, aisles, pedestrian ramps, walkways, parking lots, etc. This also applies to the sidelines; snow may not be pushed into piles and remain against stadium walls so that it interferes with standard game or sideline operations."
