NRG Stadium to do away with grass field...effective immediately

[dada]

Could be a factor come playoff time and in the future. NRG stayed away from some games when the Texans were home because they would have to pull up the turf and lay out the grass.....

Even the Kansas City Chiefs complained about the grass field at NRG.

It's about time. The palletized grass was awful.

It would have sucked so hard to have 10 games in three days on natural grass

They have been using artificial turf a couple of years for High School and College games.

My emphasis was 10 games in three days (UIL Championships).

Edit: I went to Mary's in Strawn for my first time Friday after reading Wallar's and your writeups. I had the CFS. GOOD food!

Would they have done this had the state championship games not been scheduled to play there, or should I put it this way.

Would they have done this if there was any hint at all that KATY wouldn't be playing in the finals?

This is a conspiracy!

okay, I'm just messing around, but hey, it does make good banter!

Maybe its has something to do with protecting NFL players. Several have complained about it, several have been hurt and a couple have filed lawsuits.
