NFL players prefer high-quality grass over artificial turf, but Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh has struggled with its field quality. Following an embarrassing performance last year and criticism from Steelers owner Art Rooney II, the stadium has installed Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass. Rooney acknowledged the possibility of switching to artificial turf if the new grass does not meet expectations. Players would dislike that option, but it would be preferable to another poor grass surface.
