Well, the decision has been made: Grass stays!

Maybe they are thinking of ways to help the defense next season If our backs can't cut neither can theirs. If our receivers can't run routes neither can theirs. How about we just get a gold field? Yes thats what we need gold colored Astroplay synthetic grass.

****ing a, lets go boise state style, but lets make it black with yellow stripes, of course the players would burn up, but **** it, it will look cool lol

[SteelCityMan786]

naw **** grass, lets go back to what won us 4 superbowls, astroturf is the ticket

The Steelers didn't even play on AstroTurf till 1983 so what championships are you talking about? Don't you remember that ol Tartan Turf? It looks a grass turf like surface from pictures I have seen.

no i'm talking about losing to the broncos, the cards, and the ****ing jets, i can understand losing to the jags, we were nowhere near their level, and i can understand losing to the ravens late cause no one played

Koopa, the steelers have been dropping games every season to less talent teams long before Tomlin became coach. Come to expect that each season.

i know we do, i just couldn't take letting bum ass fags like kurt warner pick us apart 10 yards at a time

Great yet another yet of being the laughing stock of the league in having the worse damn field in professional sports !! Yet another year of wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars resodding a swamp!

I like the fact we have grass I feel it really does protect the Players ..the real problem is the whole State of Pennsylvania plays on Heinz field..

SteelCityMan, Tartan Turf was hard as a rock and nothing like real grass. Astroturf was softer. The newest turfs like Field Turf are very much like real grass. I guess we won't get to see it at Heinz Field though...... at least not this year but the alternative brown patches of cow pasture will be even a greater surface.............NOT! :-(

Didn't I say it looked like it? AstroTurf now still sucks unless you wear turf shoes. Right now I'd tell them just replace the parts that are in major need of it. Although they'll pretty much just replace the whole thing.

You might want to recheck yourself...lol Three Rivers Stadium opened in 1970 and had Astro Turf from the start....So the Steelers played on Astro Turf from 70-00........
