The debate shouldn't be grass vs. turf. It should be slit film vs. monofilament. I wouldn't be shocked if the NFL comes out and bands slit film eventually. Maybe the Bengals already know this.
Sounds like Monofilament would make the most sense for us as what Ike here says makes sense on not having grass which
is what I would want the most if it wasn't for the water table by the river. We don't want to be playing on wet grass with mud
either.

The stadium is right next to the Ohio River, and the field is well below street level. It just gets too wet.
Same thing happened when Ohio State sunk the field to expand capacity. Had to switch to turf the next year.

Can't be all identical as Ike here says about certain water tables and climates. Would like it to be consistent though in all stadiums.
