The Green, Green Grass of Home

Citing the overwhelming support of its players, Heinz Field executive director of stadium development, Jimmie Sacco, announced that management has decided to stick with a grass surface for its playing field. Even though NFL Players Association surveys consistently put Heinz Field near the bottom of the league in playing surfaces Steeler management may very well decide to stick with the DDGrassMaster mix. While this "grass secured with fiber" mix has been the playing surface for most of Heinz Field's seven years, management is also considering pure grass or sod.
