Soldier Field’s surface is fine into January… by revressbo

and it’s used much, much more frequently for a variety of events. Ours is used less often and only into mid-November.

(It used to not be fine - there’s a well-known photo of Urlacher making a tackle in hideous field conditions - but they’ve researched the best grass to use and how to maintain it and the past 5+ years have had a nice surface.)

The BOT should know by now that grass* is safer for players than artificial turf. For whatever reason (probably monetary), they don’t care.

*Well-maintained grass, which ND has the resources to achieve. For many high schools and municipal parks, turf is a better option.
