The artificial turf vs. real grass argument continues to be a hot topic in the NFL.
Players have been vocal in recent years about opposing turf fields, as there has been evidence on an increase in injuries while playing on these surfaces. While the NFL has not taken any action yet to make a change, the NFLPA continues to call for the elimination of artificial surfaces.
Most recently, NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell released a statement that asked the league to consider requiring each team's facility to use real grass as opposed to turf. NFL teams continue to push back by saying there isn't a huge difference in injuries on the two sides, but the players feel that isn't the case.
Not all teams in the NFL play on the same surface. It's a 50-50 split in the stadiums that have turf and those that have grass.
