They are both too big with terrible views from certain part of the stadium. It's been discussed ad nauseum previously, but if there was an emergency people will get trampled to death due to the piss poor congestion points at the escalators. These stadiums are an example of profit maximizing resulting in stunningly poor traffic flow design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 They’re not changing to grass but to a different kind of synthetic turf after NFL banned the kind of turf at Met Life. I don’t know the economics but if you’re paying players hundred of millions and expect to give the public a major league product with top players healthy and not 3rd string replacements like what you saw last year isn’t real grass smarter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 New field turf installed at MetLife Stadium, home of Giants and Jets 9:35 AM ET Jordan RaananESPN Staff Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A new playing surface has been installed at MetLife Stadium, where the previous turf had become an object of widespread criticism in recent years. While not grass, the new surface is believed to be an improved synthetic turf that will decrease the number of injuries that occur at the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets. The two New York teams will now play on an updated version of FieldTurf -- a recent edition called FieldTurf Core system, which is the first multilayer dual-polymer monofilament fiber. The heavyweight infill design claims to deliver a lower incidence of total injuries compared to various infill weights. The performance and durability of the surface are backed by multiple independent certified sources and was tested to 200,000 cycles on the fiber wear test by Penn State's Center for Sports Surface Research. Giants owner John Mara confirmed to reporters earlier this week that the new turf was installed at the stadium and the team practice facility across the parking lot in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Mara also said he hoped that the stadium eventually will convert to either a grass or hybrid field. The sticking point with grass has long been its ability to hold up under the Northeast climate and heavy usage of MetLife Stadium. Several Giants players publicly expressed their desire to change to natural grass, including former team captain Julian Love, who said "the stats have shown we are on one of the worst fields in the league." In the meantime, FieldTurf Core was considered the best option at this time. "Installation of the new FieldTurf CORE system reinforces the commitment we have to providing the best playing surface for our teams," president and CEO of MetLife Stadium Ron VanDeVeen said Thursday in a statement. "The research that FieldTurf has put into the heavyweight infill design for this new field system will equip MetLife Stadium with one of the premier surfaces in the league." The previous turf at MetLife Stadium has been the subject of multiple complaints in the past, including by the San Francisco 49ers after five players suffered lower-body injuries in the same game against the Jets during the 2020 season. The knee injuries suffered by Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas were season-ending. Last season, the Baltimore Ravens were unhappy after cornerback Kyle Fuller tore an ACL at MetLife in a Week 1 game against the Jets. "Everybody in this league should do everything they can to put the best surface out there," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after that game. "How much is invested in the players who go out there and play, and our league really is a player-driven league, and we want those guys to have the best of the best, especially surfaces to play on. ... That turf was matted down, it was packed down, it was a little tight." The NFL's recent rate of noncontact injuries to the knee, ankle and foot is roughly the same on natural and artificial playing surfaces, according to internal data reviewed by ESPN last year. Those numbers contradict anecdotal observations from this past season from a wide swath of players, agents and coaches who have called for the league to convert all surfaces to grass in response to a series of high-profile injuries on artificial turf.

C Mart Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 FieldTurf CORE, the world’s first multi-layer dual-polymer fiber is taking U.S. athletics by storm. Engineered for elite level facilities, CORE is designed to deliver a more realistic, textured, grass-like shape with optimal durability and resiliency. “We are excited to be using the latest FieldTurf technology in Georgia State Stadium,” said Doug Justice, Senior Associate Athletic Director for the university. “Our goal was to provide the highest quality surface for our student-athletes from day one, when we open our new stadium. We are pleased to take advantage of the latest innovation from FieldTurf.” “FieldTurf is one of the great innovators in artificial surfaces and we are pleased to continue our partnership with an industry leader,” said Pat Hobbs, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Rutgers University. “We are committed to providing our coaches and players with best in class facilities and this is another step in that process for all our student-athletes who compete at High Point Solutions Stadium.” CORE rewrites the playbook for sports turf, reinvents the playing field, and redefines the player experience. In the NCAA, CORE has already been installed at Rutgers Stadium and practice field, Georgia State University, California State University, California Polytechnic State University, The College of Saint Benedict, Foothill College and Bryn Athyn College. The next generation turf has also found a home in National Sports Center Stadium in Blaine, MN, home of the Minnesota United soccer team. Additionally, it is the fiber of choice for the community field in North Logan, UT; the Jack Allen Recreation Complex in Decatur, AL; and the Patricia H. Birdsall Sports Park in Temecula, CA. CORE’s revolution lies in surpassing the limitations of single-layer polyethylene fibers. CORE’s multi-layer technology is constructed to deliver the highest fiber performance and resiliency available on the market. CORE exceeds all other FieldTurf products. CORE’s performance and safety is backed by multiple independent certified sources. Labosport, a global leader in sport surface certification, tested CORE using the rigorous Fiber Performance Index — which measures durability, resilience and softness. The surface emerged with Labosport’s highest-ever Fiber Performance Index score of 89. The system was tested to 200,000 cycles on the fiber wear test by Penn State’s Center for Sports Surface Research and meets FIFA Quality Pro and World Rugby certifications. Unlike imitation blended polymer fibers, CORE backs its performance with results. CORE also features FieldTurf’s heavyweight 3-layer infill system which has showcased a significant lower incidence of injuries per recent research by Michael C. Meyers, professor in Idaho State University’s Department of Sport Science and Physical Education. A mere two months after its official introduction, CORE is already becoming one of North America’s most popular artificial turf systems.
