Indoor fireworks set field on fire at Indianapolis

Last Sunday, November 15, the New England Patriots were playing the Colts at Indianapolis when after a touchdown, the staff of the new 60,000-seat Lucus Oil Stadium set off fireworks inside the facility. And, as frequently happens with fireworks everywhere, they started several small fires in the artificial turf on the field.

An alert Colts staffer put out one of the fires with Gatorade and his sneaker-clad foot.

This is just another example of why fireworks are unsafe, and INDOOR FIREWORKS are insane.
