The NFLPA says injury rates are significantly higher on artificial turf than on grass
A pretty bad look for the NFL. Glad Arrowhead has a grass field. Seems like a big key to our success this past half-decade has been good fortune on the injury front. I can't imagine a team making the conscious decision to opt for the "more injuries" approach.

You can't beat grass PERIOD You would think these owners would pay a little more in maintenance to protect their HUGE INVESTMENTS

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.
