No sun, no problem: Ravens to use artificial lighting for grass field

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens have played on artificial turf for the past 13 seasons because there wasn't enough sunlight reaching the field to grow grass.

Now, new technology will allow Baltimore to go back to old-school football. The Ravens will become the second NFL team to use artificial lighting to grow grass at their stadium.

The Green Bay Packers were the first to experiment with a grow light system in October 2010.
