Bills' New Grass Field Already Flops
17 Aug
Summary
- New stadium grass drew mixed player reviews during preseason opener.
- A massive clump of grass detached, with roots, during a play.
- Players found the field soft, but not in a desirable way.

The Buffalo Bills' transition to a grass field in their new Highmark Stadium has faced early criticism following their preseason opener. Reports indicate the turf quality has drawn mixed reactions from players. One anonymous player described the field as "ass right now," highlighting an incident where a "massive clump" of grass, including roots, detached during a play. Several players, including quarterback Josh Allen, attempted to reseat the dislodged turf on the field.
Further feedback suggested the field was "soft, but not in a good way." While Bills linebacker Dorian Williams noted the grass "looked good" and called it an improvement over turf, he also mentioned a few spots that "chunked up a little bit." The team's goal is to establish a high-quality grass surface that performs seamlessly and goes unnoticed by players and fans alike.
