In the NFL, 15 teams play on natural grass while 17 play on artificial turf. New data from the NFL Players Association team-by-team scorecards reveal what’s already been generally known: the players love grass. The median grade for home fields was a B+ for grass teams and a D for turf teams. All nine of the teams that scored a B+ or higher in terms of home field game play were playingon grass. Meanwhile, 10 of the 12 teams that had a C- or lower were playing on turf. Interestingly, the Steelers — which had an F- on grass — are switching from a Kentucky bluegrass surface to Tahoma 31 bermudagrass this year.
