The Solution:
“Ultimately we’ve landed on the decision, based on that data, to transition to a monofilament surface with an organic infill that mimics the natural feel of grass while getting the consistency and durability of field turf,” Burke Nihill, Titans president and CEO
Turf technology is only getting better, and the injury gap between real and artificial grass is getting smaller. For certain types of injuries, artificial turf is actually safer than natural grass, a point which was made painfully clear by the Titans last four seasons.
There’s also reason to believe that organic infill will improve consistency and player safety. Organic infill offers the feel and performance of natural soil. It also keeps field temperatures 20°- 40° cooler, reducing player fatigue. This fall, Nissan Stadium will become the first NFL stadium with the technology of a synthetic turf system that incorporates organic infill.
