New Stadium will have a grass field per Mort

[Albany,n.y.]

I've been watching ESPN's countdown show & among all the things said was when they were talking about the fact that there is a tarp over the field at Highmark because they don't want the turf to freeze & get hard which could cause concussions, Mortensen  mentioned that the new stadium will have a grass field with a heating system underneath like in GB & KC.  I have no idea how he knows that or thinks he knows that, but that's what he said.

Can grass grow under a dome?

No but it’s an ideal environment to grow soft fans.

Arizona has a grass field in a dome.  They can bring it outside for sun and watering.

Mort has had a great source within the Bills organization since the Pegulas took over. I can remember specifically he had scoops on several Bills related news items. I would trust his info.

If true I like this. 

 

Turf at Ralph/New Era/Highmark has been slippery for awhile.

I can't imagine they would have grass.  They would just be heating some beat up lawn by January

Yes.  My hippie friends grow it in their extra storage space in the bonus room.

Astroturf for UNLV, grass for the Raiders over the astroturf, rolled in like you cited for Arizona.

Nice. I always preferred real grass. Players will like that I bet. They don't have to deal with the rubber pellets flying up in their eyes and face.

 

Except the kicker. I think kickers do better on artificial turf.

My comment was totally tongue and cheek as it pertains to our endless string of dome/no dome debates around here, but thanks for your input none the less.

Good for ACLS too...

 

Dirt and grass give but turf doesn't.

 

I feel like this was reported somewhere else before, bit more as a rumor.

When we toured Allegiant Stadium, they said that they asked the Cardinals what they would do differently with their rolled-in grass field.  The Cardinals said they would have raised it up 3 feet off the ground so you can get under it easily.

 

But a turf field and a roof would make more sense if they're worried about the turf freezing.  And I'm sure doing all that adds a lot more to the cost.

Grow lights baby.

New York State just passed a new law. Exactly what kind of grass are we talking about?
