Acrisure Stadium will host back-to-back games this weekend, starting with the Pitt Panthers facing Georgia Tech on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers meeting the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. The quick turnaround will require significant conversion of the stadium setup, potentially impacting the quality of the playing surface. Concerns about the grass had previously been voiced by players, including Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but recent changes to the field's construction have alleviated some issues. The scheduling decision keeps the NFL game at its original time despite considerations for flexing it to Sunday night.
