I’m pretty sure someone here posted stats a while back that showed there is no statistical diff injury wise between turf and grass these days.  10 years ago?  Absolutely.  But todays turf is so diff 

Ask any player and they will tell you how it affects their joints and hurts their feet.

If the players prefer grass and the grass helps them then mr billionaire Billy Joel butt sniffer needs to put grass Down. He can afford it 

Pretty sure he addresses it not long ago.  Probably the presser before the draft.  Basically conceded it wasn’t the best choice for football…..but he has the concerts and all that jazz made it make sense.   He wants to do more than football for the community 
 

which, I mean is probably true.  But it does reinforce the narrative that it isn’t about football and winning.  But him just growing his wealth.

It would probably do more for the community if he paid people to resolder the grass after every event. Probably more year round work than a couple 10 hour temp job shifts working a concert where Teppers making $10 profit off every Bud light

Turf .  When this artificial turf become " turf "  and  real turf , grass, not be turf anymore ? 

Before "AstroTurf" , all places that sold grass were  and still are, called turf farms.  

Somewhere along the line , artificial turf took over the name "turf" ,,   except for people in the business.

My son will argue me till he's blue in the face that real grass isn't turf, just artificial turf is turf.  It doesn't matter if I have him google it, or we drive past a turf farm ..  lol

 

There are lots of studies to say artificial turf causes more injuries.

It's just a lot cheaper to maintain

What's become infinitely clear is that the only place David Tepper really cares about winning is in his bank account.

There has been a small group of us saying that for a long while now while most others were saying he's learning or just clueless.

well, that's not what he meant by doing more for than the community.  He means maximizing what he offers to the community...in order to make the most money out of his investment. 

I mean, the most important thing to him isn't the Panthers winning.  The most important thing is maximzing Tepper Sports.
