A preseason game between the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders on Thursday night in Winnipeg was played on a shortened field, due to concerns over the playing surface.
Coaches and executives of both the Packers and Raiders discussed and assessed the surface throughout the leadup to the game, which was played at IG Field, home of the Canadian Football League's Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Texas 6 Man football is played on an 80 yard field, slightly narrower as well. My two oldest sons played 6 Man. With only 12 players on the field it's a high scoring wide open game similar to Arena.

Interesting. I've seen 8 man football, but it's played on a regulation field. Two fewer linemen and one less back. High scoring games.
