Aaron Rodgers and his peers around the NFL are calling for teams to tear up their turf playing surfaces and replace them with grass.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers slides as Detroit Lions linebacker Julian Okwara chases during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, in Detroit.
Players from Seattle to Miami, from New England to Los Angeles, have loudly backed Tretter. Rodgers, Green Bay's 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback who has played in every stadium except Las Vegas, thinks there's a way for the league to pivot to grass quickly. Added Detroit receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown: “I do prefer playing on grass. It’s more forgiving, more natural, and it just feel it’s better. It feels better on my joints, my ankles and whatnot.”
Fourteen of the NFL's 30 venues still use a version of synthetic turf. The Hellas Matrix Turf used in Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles is widely considered the best. It's created using a textured and twisted monofilament fiber.
