From what I see, 13 of 31 NFL stadiums use FieldTurf or another comparable product. Obviously, most of these are the domed stadiums of the NFL, but open-air venues also use artificial surfaces. New York's Giants Stadium (FieldTurf)Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium (AstroTurf, the grassy kind)Atlanta's Georgia Dome (FieldTurf)Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium (Sportexe Momentum Turf)New Orleans' Louisiana Superdome (Sportexe Momentum Turf) - also home to Tulane footballNew England's Gillette Stadium (FieldTurf)Seattle's Qwest Field (FieldTurf)St Louis' Edward Jones Dome (FieldTurf)Dallas' Texas Stadium (RealGrass)Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium (FieldTurf)Detroit's Ford Field (FieldTurf) - DomeMinnesota's HHH Metrodome (FieldTurf)Indianapolis' RCA Dome (FieldTurf)Now all of this is speculation, but would you have any thoughts on changing to FieldTurf to possibly get the field painted OUR way more often. Obviously feasibility would have to be questioned, but this is just hypothetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the best grass in th NFL, maybe all of sports, outside of Ricky Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most stadiums that have it have it for drainage issues and such(like the Seahawks). I love field turf but playing on grass is better and I deffinatly don't see them putting it down at RayJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
