Seahawks new ownership considers switch to grass playing surface
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks' new ownership group is exploring the possibility of replacing the team's artificial playing surface with natural grass. This decision gains urgency following the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which required all host NFL stadiums to switch to grass. Players across the league have voiced their support for such changes, with Seahawks players previously indicating dissatisfaction with the current turf. As Neeru Khosla and the Khosla Family take over, addressing the field surface is suggested to be a priority for earning trust from fans and players alike.
