I agree. It would help cut down on injuries

Ain't gonna happen. Technology has shown that when a cleat enters earth below a grass surface, the cleat will stay while the grass creates a slippery surface allowing the foot to remain in place and the leg from the ankle and above to turn. Result is a severely sprained ankle or worse, torn ligaments and tendons. If that foot is lodged in earth and the leg receives a blow from another player, that will also result in serious damage. Tuef doesn't allow the foot to become statioary. Most legament damage comes from players rolling against the back of another player's leg or a low hit with forc. ie: Ward's low hit on Gronk. Which is why no one can hit a QB below the hips.

I don't think frozen grass is good ether.

If they are concerned about cleats getting caught in the grass, just go the nascar route and everybody has to wear slicks




yes, I’m kidding, but it would be a fun game to watch...like backyard football when we were kids

How would this work in domed stadiums?

 

[ducky]

Players have been calling for all grass fields since 1970 (first artificial turf was the 1968 season).

50 years later and it still ain't gonna happen.

Make the "Domes" retrackable (Sp), I think that is the word i'm looking for,

What I mean is like Rogers Center in Toronto, Open when it is Sunny or nice and Closed when Weather will be a factor

It started up again after that 49ers/Jets debacle in week 2.

And I agree

You mean like what Dallas, Indy, AZ and Houston have?

AZ is a bit different.
Their whole field rolls outside. (not the roof)

Yes the field rolls outside but the roof also opens.
