It is well known that artificial surfaces in football stadiums are not conducive to the health of players. This fact has been studied for years and is linked to contactless injuries that occur more frequently on artificial surfaces than natural grass, which is an obvious reason for players prefer natural lawn.
It is logical that the teams set up real grassland in their dollars’ billion stages to protect their players, but currently, only 15 stadiums from the NFL use natural grass, according to a recent Article in The Buffalo News. The article pointed out that an important reason for this is the cost. Although it is more expensive to install the artificial lawn, it generally lasts longer and is cheaper to maintain.
According to the article, Natural Grass Fields costs between $ 300,000 and $ 500,000. Then there is the infrastructure and annual maintenance costs which can reach more than $ 1,000,000 per year. Stadium costs have already gone exceeded expectations, but it will be worth the safety of players.

Realizing that this process must start right away, the team hired an entrepreneur, SCG Fields, to start the process. The vice-president of Bills stadium development, John Polka, said: “This gives us a full growth season before our first match. Many enters the components of the field themselves.” SCG Fields has also installed the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos fields.
Even if about half of the NFL stages currently have natural lawn terrains, the new Bills stadium will be one of the two that will incorporate the type of grass growth technology. This technology includes hydronic heating, culture lights, under-warning technology and irrigation. Between the new area of the field and the cutting -edge roof, the new stadium of the Bills will really be one in their kind in the NFL.
