Sean Payton believes NFL will see more grass fields soon

Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, predicts an increase in the number of NFL teams using grass fields. Currently, half of the NFL's 32 teams utilize artificial turf. Payton points to the safety issues associated with turf and acknowledges logistical challenges for maintaining grass in covered stadiums. He notes that the debate over field surface preferences could become a significant topic in the league's next collective bargaining agreement. The push for more grass fields has been fueled by player advocacy, as ownership considers these changes amid financial and logistical concerns.
