The increased risk of ankle/knee injuries associated with field turf is a concern that has to be weighed against playing on green dirt. 

Perhaps so, but I was only referring to the fact that the announcers were trying to give Seattle an out due to the fact that the field was so "chewed up" amongst many other things.

With Arizona used to playing indoors, I'dsay we have more than a true homefield advantage comeSunday

When we've reached the point of painting the field green, it's time to consider field turf.

I love our natural grass field, but we're going to be a contender for a while playing deep into January so we need a field that will hold up. 

Green Bay and New England disagree with this.

NE has had artificial turf since 2006. GB uses a grass/artificial turf composite on their field.

Never even knew about the reinforced grass fields.  That's interesting.

Pittsburgh used it for a long time but they had problems with it because you can't resod a composite field and Heinz gets used by college and high school teams so the field would get destroyed with no way to fix it in season. GB doesn't have that issue since they are the only team to play at Lambeau.

The type of grass we use is part of the issue with the field. We use Bermuda which does not respond well in the winter and goes dormant. It is without a doubt the best grass for football and perfectly fine in the summer and fall but it can pose problems late in the season when it gets cold. The roots don't hold up as well. We might need to look into what Philadelphia does which is use bermuda grass in the fall then resod the field with kentucky bluegrass which is much hardier in the winter and is not as susceptible to being torn up.

Like he did last week before Seahawks game, Roman Harper says Panthers are a better team than the Cardinals.

Harper says Panthers aren't going to shy away from that. "We've been the best team all year."

the last time i recall problems with the field was against Green Bay I think in 01, Morgan or someone broke their leg that game. this year is more of an anomally, likely due to el nino and having five or six games played during a monsoon
