The New York Giants — and Jets — will now be playing on a new surface after years of complaints.
Jordan Ranaan of ESPN is reporting that a new FieldTurf playing surface was installed at MetLife Stadium on Thursday.
MetLife Stadium previously used UBU Sports Turf, but it will be replaced with the FieldTurf CORE system.
Per Ranaan, the new surface is the first multi-layer dual polymer monofilament fiber, and is purported to have a “lower incidence of total injuries”.
Rob VanDeVeen, the president and CEO of MetLife Stadium said, “The research that FieldTurf has put into the heavyweight infill design for this new field system will equip MetLife Stadium with one of the premier surfaces in the league.
