Ben Roethlisberger's Solution to Acrisure Stadium Turf Issues
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suggests kicking out Pitt to solve the Acrisure Stadium turf problems.
The issues with the playing surface at Acrisure Stadium have been ongoing, with problems noted beyond the recent game against the Cleveland Browns. During that game, Aaron Rodgers described the conditions as "borderline unplayable," and Chris Boswell slipped on a field goal attempt. Additionally, Cam Heyward attributed an injury to Miles Killebrew to the poor grass conditions.
“There’s been issues with it before,” “Players have talked about it before. We’ve all been out there when it’s just like a sand base. … “You can’t have a professional football team, not just the Steelers but the opponents, play on a surface like that. Because you’re paying them a lot of money and if people get hurt, it’s not a good thing.
Roethlisberger shared his thoughts on his Footbahlin' podcast, emphasizing the need for a safe and suitable playing surface for all teams.
