Giants Stadium - Poor Field Conditions
New York Giants

Posted Jan 24, 2003


Five of the 10 worst fields in the NFL were grass, a result that contradicts conventional wisdom that artificial turf is always worst.

The NFLPA also released its biennial report on turf conditions and, to nobody's surprise, Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia was rated the worst field in the league. The Eagles will be in a new stadium next season in south Philly.

Second worst was the grass field at Giants Stadium.

Ranking third poorest field conditions was another natural surface, the Bengals home field in Cincinnati.

In fact, five of the 10 worst fields in the rankings were grass, a result that contradicts conventional wisdom that says artificial turf is always worst.

The grass field at Qualcomm Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played, ranked 10th worst.
