Browns choose turf for new stadium amid NFLPA's grass advocacy

The Cleveland Browns have decided to use artificial turf in their new $2.6 billion stadium, set to open for the 2029 NFL season, as reported by ProFootballTalk. Currently, 16 teams use grass fields and 16 use turf, with the Browns being among the grass teams. The NFL Players Association has been advocating for more grass fields, particularly during the ongoing turf debate related to the 2026 World Cup. This year's tournament prompted several teams to temporarily switch to natural grass to comply with FIFA regulations. The Browns' stadium will have provisions to accommodate grass, primarily for soccer events. Other teams, like the Bills, have opted for grass in new stadium projects.
