The NFLPA’s J.C. Tretter wants a full ban on artificial turf fields. Realizing this won’t happen they have commented on the types. Noting that some types of A.T. are different than others there is a recommendation against slit film turf. This is from April 2023. Yahoo sports.
“Two years later, Tretter called for the immediate ban of "slit film turf," citing injury concerns. The Jets, New York Giants, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Coltsand Cincinnati Bengals all use slit film turf. “
There are three basic types of turf.
Slit-film: Flat turf blades created by adding slits to a thin sheet of plastic.
Monofilament fiber: Dimensional turf blades that stand upright.
Dual Fiber: Slit-film and monofilament turf blades blended together.
Seems like the type of turf makes a difference. Anecdotally teams think that some injuries happen with out much if any contact and that it is linked first to A.T. over grass and then to the type of turf used. Will be interested in what gets installed.
