Episode Details

Cooper Kupp is leading the charge for real grass in the NFL, arguing that with the league’s vast resources, it’s not just possible—it’s overdue. He highlights how even temporary grass fields were used for the World Cup in NFL stadiums, proving the feasibility. Kupp, whose team plays in a turf-only stadium, feels the physical toll of artificial surfaces and believes many players and coaches share his view. While financial concerns often stall the switch—turf is more profitable for concerts and events—Kupp insists player health should come first. Across the league, teams are already finding creative ways to install and maintain grass, even in cold or domed stadiums. The real test? Whether the new Seahawks owners will prioritize player well-being and make the switch at Lumen Field—because, as Kupp says, it’s worth the cost.
