Following the World Cup, during which seven NFL stadiums were equipped with temporary grass fields, players have initiated a campaign to make such surfaces permanent installations. The push is backed by the NFL Players Association and supported by prominent players across multiple teams who have used social media to highlight what they argue is the feasibility of providing natural grass at professional venues.

The campaign centres on research indicating that artificial turf places greater physical demands on athletes' bodies compared to grass surfaces. Currently, fifteen of the league's thirty stadiums feature natural grass whilst the remainder use artificial turf. The players' union contends that adequate financial and technical resources exist to install quality grass fields league-wide, and argues that professional athletes deserve facility standards comparable to those provided for international sporting events.
