In the old days I would agree with you. They get plenty of practice time in the bubble which is artificial turf.


There are multiple types and subtypes of artificial turf. So while they may have been practicing on fake grass it might have not had the same feel/traction etc.

It isn't that big of a deal from my experience. I've been on the Dolphins, UCF's multipurpose fields and the brand new turf at the Citrus Bowl on several occasions. For that matter I've been on two local high school's turf as well.  They are either all the same or they do not have much of a difference to them. The older stuff kind of sucked and was more varied but it seems like the new turf which requires the rubber fillers are very similar.

As a soccer coach I absolutely hate artificial turf but running has never been the issue.

The turf in the bubble is the same "field-turf" that appeared to be in Lucas Oil stadium.  Not sure what variants there are of that but it looked to be the same.

Anything remotely new uses a "3rd generation" artificial turf,  whether it's AstroTurf or FieldTurf branded. And they are fairly similar, so if  you're used to one, there's really no excuse.

For anyone who hasn't seen the new stuff up close,  it's a huge improvement over the old crap. The "grass" is set on a rubber pellet base and uses much thinner and more flexible "blades", which are even coated with silicone to reduce friction, so you don't get those burns that even second generation AstroTurf gave.


(The Dolphins use SportGrass brand turf in their bubble,  AFAIK, while the Oil Can uses FieldTurf )

The rubber base makes you feel "fast" just walking on it, cause you almost bounce when you step. I would think its a better surface to play on than even real grass.  I really like it.

The entire secondary gets shame of the game.  Sean Smith played poorly, too many completed passes on third and long, missed tackles.  A record passing day.  And the best part, everybody on the planet knew Indy was going to throw the ball.
