Two and a half years ago. Hopefully something better by the time we get to Arlington Heights.

Giants owner John ... Mara also said he hoped that the stadium eventually will convert to either a grass or hybrid field.
The sticking point with grass has long been its ability to hold up under the Northeast climate and heavy usage of MetLife Stadium. Several Giants players publicly expressed their desire to change to natural grass...
In the meantime, FieldTurf Core was considered the best option at this time.
I don't think there's much doubt that the Chicago climate is worse for growing grass late in the season than that of NJ.
