I know we're better on the road this year.

Oh, and Field Turf, not artificial turf :)

Actually no...field turf is a company that sells artificial turf. Field turf did Dallas' field I believe.

Synthetic Turf is acceptable, too.

I thought Field Turf was a specific type of turf that was a blend of various synthetic materials, as opposed to a type of astroturf?

I know Field Turf is a brand, but field turf is an acceptable generic term to describe the new fake stuff.

Yes and no.

Field Turf is a company. Yes they sell various split fiber synthetic turfs with rubber or cork infill.

Maybe....but it's not how I spec it on my fields.

I wonder how often that occurs for a team each year.

I'm more curious about the field types...that changes everything.

I always thought the fields in Cincinnati and Baltimore looked nice. Any chance the Chiefs ever install that stuff?

We played New Orleans in preseason.

Probably a simple google search would tell us if we have played on any this year...unless philly has one, I think we have played only on natural turf fields this year.

I'm on my phone....someone else do the google search. :)

Colts had 3 d guys go down today BUT they still have AL at home and you always go with the better QB especially at home during the playoffs. If Andy pulls an upset in Indy against AL, I will personally tie his next BBQ bib on him as he inhales his next side of beef. :D

Any updates on those injuries?

After going to Wikipedia, turns out Denver is a mix of real grass and artificial stuff. Does that count?

Good catch.

So we are 1-0 this year. :thumb:

Also according to Wikipedia, 13 of the 32 NFL teams use an artificial field. Looks like Buffalo is the only true one we have played on this year. Both Philadelphia and Denver use something called Desso GrassMaster, which is the combination of grass and artificial fibers.
