Soldier Field switched from the old Astro Turf to natural grass in 1994 for the USA ‘94 FIFA World Cup. The same thing happened at the Meadowlands. The Pontiac Silverdome had a temporary natural grass field installed for the same event.

So it’s possible, they just refuse to do it

Nothing more ironic than the No Fun League registering as ‘sports entertainment’

I went on the field on Metlife stadium and its really soft and does not feel like its dangerous to NFL players, so sometimes you wonder how they do get injured on it.

Luckily I just explained how 😅

Honestly I think the right move would be, making the stadiums that can do the rectrable field surface thing like tottenham and State farm stadium do it. Then just making the ones that cant install or use the monofilament turf. Oh and by cant install it I mean the ones In city centers or condensed areas. Thats seems like the best possible compromise. Though just so the owners dont throw a fit lets have the nfl pay a percentage of the cost for the stadiums adding the retractable field system. I guess the one thing is that the league would probably have to schedule a bunch of contracts with colleges have like half the league play in college stadiums. Not all teams have a atleast 30,000 seater college stadium nearby either.

Preach

The bad surface in Arizona was the paint not the grass. Almost like the nfl wanted natural grass to look bad 🤔

[@tylerwebbshorts]

Now that’s a conspiracy theory!
