It would be nice to have the turf just to enhance the speed of the team. No reason not to really.
Not until we get a secondary! :D
They need all of the help they can get. The dirt field helps our safeties more than it hurts our WRs.

Well, it's kind of looking like the media might be "forcing" a change at Fedex in regards to the field, whether if we like it or not:

Not everyone thinks turf is the answer to safe playing fields
Former Texans punter files lawsuit over 'unsafe turf' at Reliant Stadium (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/texans/2012/11/15/texans-brett-hartman-lawuit-reliant-stadium-unsafe-turf/1707461/)

They use real grass there
The stadium recently installed removable AstroTurf to be used for non-NFL events. For Texans games, workers piece together more than 1,200, 8-by-8-foot palettes of real grass with forklifts. Hartmann caught his left foot in a seam between palettes and was placed on injured reserve. The lawsuit says Hartmann suffered a "significant and career-threatening injury."

Well, if it really does help to cut down on injuries, especially serious injures, then I'm all for it. It would certainly make Fed Fex Field look better.

Hope the Redskins just start to build a new stadium, hopefully where RFK is or in northern VA. 1 billion dollar stadium please.
