Steelers Swap Grass, Level Up Home Turf

0:00On April 2nd, Pittsburgh Steelers fans, big news on that slippery field at Acresure Stadium. Team President Art Rooney, the second, just dropped that they're swapping out the old grass for Tsahoma 31 Burmuda grass. A tougher variety that's worked well in other NFL spots. This switch comes after months of talk, straight from Rooney at the NFL annual league meeting. They're ditching the Kentucky bluegrass that's been causing headaches for years. Players have been vocal about it, especially last season when injuries piled up on their rough surface. The field even flunked hard, pulling an F-minus on the NFL Players Association report card this offseason. Word first leaked back in February that a change was coming, and now it's official. They're installing the new turf to make things safer and smoother. 4. The Squad Steelers are leveling up their home turf, so expect fewer slips and better play when the season hits. Stay tuned for how it performs. You've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
