Cleveland Browns to Use Artificial Turf in New Stadium

The Cleveland Browns have announced that their new stadium, currently under construction in Brook Park, will feature artificial turf for NFL games. This decision aligns with a broader trend among teams as they navigate the ongoing debate over the use of grass versus turf in stadiums.

While the Browns will utilize artificial turf, the stadium is designed to allow for grass installation, particularly for soccer events. This flexibility means that the turf could potentially be replaced with grass in the future.

This decision shifts the current balance of NFL teams playing on artificial turf to 17, compared to 15 teams using natural grass, unless other teams decide to make similar changes.
