Belichick: Reliant Stadium Turf is "terrible" and source of Welker's Injury

[Mike]

I would not change anything. The first year or two, the field had issues with not enough trays of grass.

Chester Pitts this morning mentioned that the players wished they could play on a surface as good as ours every week.

The fake grass, even the new stuff is not preferred by most players. Did anyone see Ochocinco slip in warm ups on that crap? Players would rather plan on real grass.

Now, I wish they did not play the Texas Bowl a few days before an NFL game on the same surface. They had taken the endzone and midfield trays and replaced them.

Kubes even mentioned at times this year, the players preferred being outside in the "elements" rather than having to practice in the bubble, which has Fieldturf or Astroplay.
