MetLife Stadium's artificial turf is expected to be replaced in 2023 after players and coaches have complained about playing surfaces throughout the NFL this season.
is in the process of reviewing proposals to replace its FieldTurf, which has had its fair share of complaints from players and coaches over the years, according to ESPN.
A general view of MetLife Stadium prior to a game between the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles Dec. 5, 2021 in East Rutherford, N.J.safety and player rep Julian Love told NJ Advance Media Wednesday the turf would be changed. Love added that"the stats have shown we are on one of the worst fields in the league."
"The players have been vocal and clear about this issue, and it is a good step to hear them that change needs to be made," the statement said."The change will not come soon enough, though, for players who will be at greater risk the rest of the season. We expect that whatever surface gets installed next year will meet the highest safety and performance standards possible."
ESPN added that non-contact injuries to the knee, ankle and foot this season are roughly the same on natural and artificial surfaces. MetLife Stadium, in particular, has seen far too many non-contact injuries, including one to Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who was jogging down the field when he tore his ACL. head coach John Harbaugh was vocal about the MetLife turf earlier this season when he saw corner Kyle Fuller tear his ACL, ending his season.
