Yeah I had the Lions winning the NFC last season before the season and damn near nailed it. I have you guys this season, I think Love is better than Goff. -

I never said no injuries ever happen on natural grass. This one injury to a Colts player is not the only injury that is relevant to the broader discussion about grass vs. turf. A lot more injuries happen on turf than on grass. And turf is so much harder on players bodies. Also, your whole argument about some cities not being able to maintain grass year round is just not factual. Green Bay does it with no issues. Ever look at Lambeau in December? The grass is still green and every bit as playable as in September. They cover the field before snowfall and remove the snow and uncover. Grounds crews are much more advanced today. Grow lights and etc. This isn't 1920s football, when it was more difficult to maintain and have lush grass year round. Also, I never said all stadiums will have to change to natural grass immediately, but many do it already to be able to host World Cup soccer. In the next 10 to 12 years, every NFL stadium will be required to have natural grass. Trust me, the players are already raising enough of a stink about it that it is inevitable that the league will mandate it for all teams. To prevent injuries, and prolong players careers. -

Well this injury happened on grass. Second a lot stadiums downtown like the Colts stadium or the Lions stadium in Detroit are not built in areas to be able to roll the grass in and out. Also places like Minneapolis, Detroit, and Indianapolis are not conducive to maintaining grass year round like Vegas or Phoenix. At some point you are going to end up with “winter grass” which defeats part of the purpose of having an indoor stadium. Also the city is in no hurry to replace LOS. It’s still state of the art in a lot of ways and the city uses it for several events a year beyond the Colts, the Big 10 just renewed their title game there through 2028, NCAA final fours, the US swimming trials were in it, the WWE just signed multi-year agreement to use the stadium and conventions use that stadium year round. So they aren’t going to build a new stadium just so it can have natural grass. This is one of those ideas that sounds good on paper but when you start looking at details realize quickly it’s not really doable for a variety of reasons.
