Stadium Report
 

ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reports the NFL Players Association released its biannual survey of playing surfaces last week and the results were hardly surprising. Of the 1,114 players who responded, 88.8 percent prefer to play on grass and 95.7 percent said they felt artificial surfaces were more likely to contribute to an injury. The five best playing fields, according to the survey: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay), Sun Devil Stadium (Arizona), Seahawks Stadium, Ericsson Stadium (Carolina) and Alltel Stadium (Jacksonville). The five worst: Veterans Stadium (Philadelphia), Giants Stadium, Paul Brown Stadium (Cincinnati), Metrodome (Minnesota) and the Superdome (New Orleans)."
