My mind spits with an enormous kickback.
Pats replacing synthetic turf at Gillette again
The change sparks memories of 2006, when the Patriots made the in-season switch from natural grass to FieldTurf's synthetic turf after a rain-soaked Nov. 12 loss that year to the New York Jets in which players struggled to gain their footing. That year, the team had a two-week window before its next home game.
The Patriots have used synthetic turf at Gillette Stadium, which hosts numerous events, since that time. Work to change the field began Sunday, the day after the Revolution defeated visiting Montreal 1-0.
