Knowing Mara, they will somehow make it worse they wont other teams have the same turf they do. I think 6 other teams. So its not like the Giants were alone in their choice of turf |

Sharing a stadium doubles the games ...I think that's the issue plus all the shows they have there ..being in try state area..it gets probably used 5 times more than just about most places I would guess

Yeah, I've seen it done up close and personal...but we have sunshine every day of the year. That would never work in the NE. Pittsburgh Cleveland Kansas City Denver Chicago If the above stadiums can do it then it can be done in the NE. What did all the stadiums prior to artificial turf? It can be done. The biggest detriment is that the stadium is shared and gets more traffic that others possibly. I am not saying they will or should use natural grass but it can be accomplished. Much more upkeep and care of course. Did not know they Did not know they kept the field out of the stadium and rolled in for games…my bad. I guess then it can be done. |

I'm glad they are changing it.
Grass is preferred but different is better either way..

What cost more money? Hiring 3 bad coaches in a row, Signing Golladay, or changing the turf?
Mara is no Warren Buffet when it comes to investing wisely......

That was the vet..was not only astroturf but there were horrible seams where the infield cut outs were turfed over(would have been better off leaving the dirt cut outs) |

Because the people involved with building that travesty clearly had no clue. No he didn't so I don't think the dramatics is needed . Met Life isn't great but if you want to complain go to a game at Fed Ex field in Landover Md. |

FedEx Field was built in 1996. Metlife is a disaster and shithole for a modern day stadium. Still an NFL stadium and that was the statement . FED EX is still by far the worst stadium in the NFL. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife_Stadium |

What field did Mowatt get jacked up on? Was it Giants Stadium? Mowatt I thought was a pre season injury |

Mowatt I thought was a pre season injury Just looked it up it was the last preseason game in Pittsburgh. So yeah that probably was a seem by the infield cut outs |
