There also needs to be consequences for rolling out shitty grass fields. Asm global maintains the turf for both Arizona and Chicago and it’s more than a little interesting that the chiefs played on 3 of the shittiest fields imaginable (2x in Arizona, once in Chicago preseason) from the same provider

I'm surprised that grass isn't related to more injuries since Nick Bolton and Willie Gay play most of their games on grass.

if the NFL cared like they claim to, they would force proper fields and ban this shit that players get injured on way more often. They are a mega billion dollar business, there's no excuse.

If they cared like they claimed they would make it 2 weeks between games, play half as many games, ban tackling and people being able to run more than 5 mph.

Vikings changing artificial turfs, cite better injury data
EAGAN, Minn. -- U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of the Minnesota Vikings, will become the latest NFL facility to replace its playing surface with a version of artificial turf that rates better in injury data. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which owns and operates the stadium, approved a $1.3 million bid for the project Thursday. It will replace the slit-film turf, which is associated with the highest rate of lower extremity noncontact injuries among the types of artificial turfs used in NFL stadiums, based on data compiled by the NFL and NFL Players Association's joint surfaces committee. In its place, the MSFA will install a monofilament version called Act Global Xtreme Turf DX. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...er-injury-data |

Not all artificial turf is the same and they have made advancements recently in artificial turf.

With all of the costs of a person going to a game, the year over year profits of an nfl team, and billionaire owner.....i don't give a **** how much it costs them to take care of the grass.
