Of the 32 teams in the NFL, 16 teams still play on artificial turf, despite the undeniable risk it poses to both players and the environment. It’s time to play smarter with Pennington. The numbers don’t lie:
And the issue is bigger than just football.
As pioneers of the grass industry, Pennington believes in working with nature, not against it. That’s why we’re rallying for change. Every signature we get applies pressure to the NFL and its team owners to face the facts and make the flip to a more sustainable field. If they say yes, we’ll bring the grass— no questions asked. And we won’t stop pushing until all 32 NFL teams ditch the turf. Because every game the NFL allows to play out on turf actively puts their own players at risk. And in turn, our planet. Sign this petition to join the movement to #FlipTheTurf.
