Plans currently call for host stadiums to use grass mixed with artificial surface. Lambeau Field has featured Kentucky bluegrass sod weaved in with synthetic fibers since 2018.
The union has wanted all grass fields for years. In April, the union released studies from 2012-22 arguing a significant increase in non-contact injuries on artificial surfaces vs. grass. The NFL has defended artificial turf, pointing to 2021 when the numbers for injuries on both surfaces were close.
“If it was a non-contact injury, then I think that would be something to discuss, obviously,” Saleh said. “But … I think that was trauma-induced. I do know the players prefer grass and there is a lot invested in those young men.” “It’s a little better,” Nick Bosa, one of those injured in the September 2020 win over the Jets, said of the SoCal stadium’s surface. “I’m not a fan at all of any turf. But it’s a little more slick, as opposed to having really soft surface like MetLife.”
