That s interesting !

Flies in the face of the idea that grass would decrease injuries
Owners are frugal,

So let’s just swap fields with them.
They replaced the Titans GM brain

with the same synthetic turf. WTF would you trade the Eagles AJ Brown with your own closing window with King Henry you moron?
I seem to remember

Wandale Robinson injured his knee on the first play of the season in that stadium

New stadium complex anyway.

This is only going to be temporary.

They're remaking the east side of the city with a new stadium, shopping, and apartments. It's going to cost 12 gazillion dollars but the plans look pretty nice so far and the aim is to raise the hotel tax even more so the rubes from out of town pay for it.
Will The MetLife Stadium Turf Be Replaced This OffSeason?

Alot of players complained about it causing injuries. Look what happened with Sterling Sheppard on a simple cut. Wonder if they go to a natural surface this offseason

A bad playing surface is a bad playing surface. A well-cared for grass field is the best option, but unfortunately that requires a serious financial commitment and NFL owners are cheap as shit.

For what it's worth, the newer "matrix" synthetic surfaces are a major improvement from what the Giants have at MetLife, which is pretty much the worst option these days.
