Hall of Fame game between the Packers and Colts has been cancelled

The first weekend with real, live football until the Super Bowl in February has sadly reportedly been cancelled. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter the paint that was applied to Tom Benson Hall of Fam Field had congealed, making the field's surface unplayable.

The paint that was applied today on middle of field, and in endzones, has congealed; would be like playing on tar.

Game now doubtful.
