A source close to the situation at NRG Stadium reports that the stadium will be moving to field turf instead of natural grass. The natural grass has been used since the stadium opened in 2002, when the Houston Texans became a NFL franchise.

In recent seasons, NRG Stadium has used field turf as the playing surface in particular high school and college football games. The stadium is operated by SMG World and owned by Harris County. The natural grass playing surface is hauled in on pallets and is fit together to make the game field on game days for the Texans.

There have been many questions surrounding the playing surface at NRG Stadium and the seams that can been seen from the seats of onlookers during the game. The change looks imminent for the upcoming season and beyond for the Texans.
