Poll Question: How do you feel about "Field Turf" replacing grass at Lambeau?

Total: 5

It's a hybrid turf. When it was grass only the field was a mud puddle down the center by the end of Nov. Remember the NFL having them spray paint the dirt green so it looked like grass on tv? That was the playoff game against SF. Was it 92 or 93?

Curious exactly how our field is put together. Sounds like a Hair Club for Men kind of a thing. I wonder what percentage is synthetic fiber?

Thanks for this. I loved the creates a natural surface part. Yeah, that's real natural. :)

Looks to be a way to kind of fool yourself that you still have a natural grass field that isn't synthetic but in essence is synthetic. If they're going to do this they may as well go all the way.

Which would seem to hinder the Packers and other teams equally unless other teams are doing something with their cleats or technique differently - in which case the Packers should be making similar adjustments.

I haven't noticed this but to be fair, I haven't been looking out for it and easily could have missed it as my primary focus is usually the QB, OL, and pass rush. I will be on Monday though - Is it mostly WRs or DBs or both?

I was commenting on the statement(s) made by nerd that caused him to ask it in the first place. Nerd has a habit of just posting nonsense that has no basis in any reality so there is no citation for it. I was pointing out that when he does these things to ask for a citation so maybe it would curtail a bunch of really bad information making it on to the forums.

The above article is from 2015 after we'd made switch to hybrid surface. Nerd said we used to have the best surface but no more and that guys are always slipping and there's a lot of hamstrings being pulled due to it.

Lambeau Field was the 9th rated playing surface in 2015. Not a single mention of slippage being a problem or hamstring injuries. If there was a big issue with either at the very least the surface would be much lower in the field surface rankings.


9. Green Bay Packers: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis.

Now the only stadium in the league to use the Desso GrassMaster system (which Denver gave up in their field renovation this year) that weaves artificial turf into a predominantly natural-grass surface, this hybrid has proven to work in Green Bay, giving the cold-weather climate an added boost and strength during the winter. The Packers are also the first team to install a heating system under the field (it's been upgraded since the original installment), which keeps the field from ever really turning into the Frozen Tundra.

----Further, back in 2011, field surfaces were ranked. We were not the top grass field.

Finally, back in 2010/11, the NFLPA did a survey on best playing surfaces. For grass fields, Lambeau finished 5th.

Again, nerd just throws really bad info out there as if it was factual. It never is.
