This type of turf supposedly is the worst for lower extremity injuries. Joe publically stated his preference for grass. But most of us can remember the grass disastor when Paycor first opened Mike Brown just sat straight up in his golf cart and yelled, "GET IT DONE, ASAP!"

The players are also all something like 5'11 and 160lbs. That is fair. I think that your last point is dead on the money. Grass isn't necessarily easy or cheap. It'd be fun to ask some folks who are in the know what they think about it. "Hey Mike Tomlin, do you ever regret playing on a grass field?" "Hey Jim Harbaugh, do you ever feel that you might've had a more successful career had your home games been played on turf?" The other side of the argument appears to be Kraft. It appears that they switched from grass to turf in 2006 after problems with mud. They appear to be "open" to switching back. |
