NFL adjusts for Falcons-Bengals game in Madrid after previous experience

The Atlanta Falcons are set to host the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday in Madrid, Spain, part of the NFL's international series. Improvements have been made for this year's game, addressing issues from last year's inaugural international matchup at the Santiago Bernabeu. Notable changes include increased locker room sizes to accommodate the larger football teams, a point of contention last season. Additionally, the stadium features a unique turf system that brings fresh grass from underground facilities, enhancing the playing surface for the matchup. Preparations for the game are ongoing as both teams prepare for their international competition.
