EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A new playing surface has been installed at MetLife Stadium, where the previous turf had become a source of widespread criticism in recent years.
While not grass, the new surface is believed to be an improved synthetic turf that will decrease the number of injuries that occur at the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
The two New York teams will now play on an updated version of FieldTurf -- a recent edition called FieldTurf CORE system, which is the first multi-layer dual-polymer monofilament fiber.
