Ban of Slit Film turf.
 

This is what the Saints play on. I'd like to see the statistics on this. But, unless the league forces the issue I don't see teams changing their playing surface.

Isn't it the same turf as before in 2009?

Maybe it's old and needs replacing. Isn't it part of the billion $ renovation?

Re: Ban of Slit Film turf.
 

They replace the turf surface with new turf every year. It is the same brand, however.

Might help explain why we always seem to have around a dozen or so guys on our injury reports every week, and other teams' injury reports always seem to have only 3 or 4.

Not sure what reports you've been looking at. Here's last week's injury report for all 16 games. Most teams had a dozen or more players listed. Only the Falcons and Colts had fewer than six players listed. I believe only four teams had fewer than nine players listed.

What are the injury stats while playing at home?

Re: Ban of Slit Film turf.
 

Apparently the injuries on turf were really back this year. If I remember right the average is like 15-20% more injuries on turf. But it fluctuates so when you happen to get years of 20% more, 10% more, 5% more the NFL issues a press release that the difference has diminished and is not statistically significant, then when it goes back up to 20-30% the next year they don't release the numbers.
