GRASS or TURF ? · PACKERSHOME

Most NFL teams play on real grass, but some play on the Turf . Some players prefer the Turf as it aids then to make faster cuts on pass routes, yet others don't like the Turf as it can factor into being injured.
Some Kickers like being indoors on the Turf and not having to deal with the wind of an outdoor field.

Many RB's like real grass for many different reasons. Many of the Turf fields feel like concrete when one lands on them. Real grass fields offer some give as a hip or shoulder lands hard upon it . Linemen generally like the real grass as it can give way instead grabbing a foot as tendons give way .

What do you say about this topic ? Will you add your knowledge and opinions ? [biggrin]

My opinion has always been every game should be played on Grass. As long as it isn't Soldier Field Grass.

With grow lights today, I don't think being in a dome should be an issue anymore. The growing environment between games can be maximized, optimum light and moisture for growth.

Back on topic , I like the grass playing fields better than the Turf ones. I especially don't care for the Colleges that have Red And Blue Artificial Turf .

For those of us that have seen a high quality grass field up close and wondered what kind of grass it was, What kind of grass is that ? What I saw reminded me of the high quality grass used for putting greens . It was very thick, very green, and cut fairly short . If any of you have knowledge of horticulture and can enlighten this forum, I for one would applaud such a post .

According to Wiki. Most football fields and baseball fields are either Bluegrass or Bermuda grass. A couple Miami in football and Houston in baseball have gone with a Paspalum which is fairly common in golf courses.

Lambeau is Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass must be very hearty with a great root system to bear up under the footwear worn in the NFL . The maintenance dept at Lambeau deserves a shout . [giddity]

Martha Careful (11h) : Olympic opening ceremony is marginal at best

Zero2Cool (12h) : I was told that the hold up with Tua was the APY but they ironed it out and for Love, it’s been structure of the contract. -- Dianna Russini

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Tua and Love have the same agency, so things might be closer than we realize

Zero2Cool (13h) : Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $212.4 million, including $167 million in guarantees

Zero2Cool (13h) : Sounds like 4 year deal coming

Zero2Cool (13h) : Tua and Dolphins seem to have an extension in place.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : @prettyrickey213 Today has been flippant 🐬. Now waiting for it to be cheesy 🧀

Zero2Cool (14h) : Jones, Ballentine and Jennings join practice off PUP

Zero2Cool (16h) : Yikes.

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Vikings CB Mekhi Blackmon tore his ACL today, a source confirms.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : You do know he's QB2, right? Pratt. Check the 53 cheat sheet

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : If Clifford keeps playing the way he has Pratt is gonna be flying by him on the depth chart

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Michael Pratt getting more first team reps than J.J. McCarthy

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Who made a prediction? I posted what it will be, not prediction mate! 😁

dfosterf (24-Jul) : It is within.the realm of possibility that someone had Bowden on their depth chart prediction. I thought they did. Could be wrong

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Record Prediction?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : I think someone edited their prediction post after

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Jayden Reed cleared to practice

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Never heard of the dude before haha

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Bowden is trash, can't snap his way out of a wet paper bag!

beast (23-Jul) : I'm hoping they re-sign Bowden after Love signs and this is just a game to get a 3rd QB while Love isn't practicing

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : got older over *

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Glad to hear it! And Happy Birthday! My brothers had got over over weekend

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Packers long snapper Peter Bowden has been released to sign Jacob Eason.

wpr (23-Jul) : I heard Reed tweeked his ankle and his youth camp.

beast (23-Jul) : I believe NJI is usually used for pre-NFL injuries (rookies) and vets that got injured doing something they weren't supposed to.

beast (23-Jul) : Might be interesting to hear how Reed got injured, as I believe NJI is non-football and teams don't have to pay you list.

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Love won't practice until new deal is agreed. Ok, my stance changed

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : TRAIIIIINNNNNING CAMP!!! let's fookin go!!!

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Jayden Reed placed on Non-Football Injury list

beast (21-Jul) : Yeah with the way the cap went up, don't be surprised if the new good QB gets more than $55 million per season

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Kenny Clark. Extended!!

buckeyepackfan (21-Jul) : The "raw" number will probably be in that area. The numbers to look at are signing bonus. Guaranteed money, and Salary Cap Hit each year.

dfosterf (21-Jul) : Those numbers align with my guesstimate. Might find out tomorrow

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Saw some rumor the Love contract is around 5 years $280m. There's no way.

Zero2Cool (19-Jul) : Packers sign wide receivers Rory Starkey and Jalen Wayne, waive Alex McGough.
