Every field in the league should be the same & all northern fields should be heated to eliminate snow. Easy peasy.
Get rid of the god awful Hines (or whatever it is) field turf.

I remember after the OBJ injury during the Super Bowl there was talk of a movement aimed at compelling the league to go to 100% grass. I haven't crunched the numbers and don't specialize in sports science. It's an interesting topic that should be explored.

Players from the 70s/80s are probably laughing at this
The turf on those dome/multi-purpose stadiums were like playing in the parking lot.
How many careers did Riverfront, Three Rivers, the Astrodome etc end back then?
Still if there’s safer stuff available go with it. But they need independent companies to do these tests.
