Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated suggested that SoFi Stadium could have a grass field if the Rams were the sole tenants. Currently, the stadium uses artificial turf but was converted to grass for the 2026 World Cup due to FIFA requirements. The translucent roof of the stadium allows natural grass to grow, prompting discussion over maintenance challenges with both the Rams and Chargers sharing the venue. Breer hinted that if only the Rams played there, they might have opted for grass all along instead of turf.
