This doesn't sound like a big step. All they're doing is re-sodding the field once in November, but I remember there being talk that a re-sod in the winter months probably wouldn't take anyway. If the solution was that simple, why weren't they doing it for the last 16 years? I really don't understand why every team with a grass field isn't doing what Green Bay is doing at Lambeau. This is a $10 billion industry, and you have million dollar assets playing on dirt in December.
In case you didn't know, Green Bay, WI is a city of ~100k with no populated surrounding area. FedEx Field gets used by tons of non-NFL entities year-round, Lambeau is a ghost town outside of NFL games, more or less. I'm not making excuses for that cheap POS Dan Snyder, but it's hardly comparable.
We'll see what FedEx looks like in week 17 this year...
