When talking about bad playing surfaces, the first stadiums that come up are always MetLife Stadium and FedEx Field. In the past few years, those stadiums have developed a horrible reputation. However, if we rewind a couple of decades, the Steelers’ home at Acrisure Stadium (then Heinz Field) would have been in that conversation.
The grass at Heinz Field was a mess in the early and mid-2000s. When the Pittsburgh Steelers played the Miami Dolphins in 2007, the turf was so bad that on a punt, the ball didn’t roll; it just ended up stuck where it landed.
