Last week we set up a survey to ask Notre Dame Football fans if they would like grass back in the stadium instead of fieldturf. Overwhelmingly, Irish fans said they wanted the natural surface back inside Notre Dame Stadium.

A lot of fans pointed at “injuries” as a big reason for their choice. They aren’t the only ones either. When Bill Belichick took over as the Head Coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, he pushed the university to change from using the fieldturf surface that had been in use since 2019, to natural grass.
