Patriots to change turf at Gillette Stadium again
by from on (#31V9A)
The turf at Gillette Stadium is once again being changed after a new surface was installed in May, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.
According to a New England Patriots spokesman, the turf passed all tests conducted by the NFL and Major League Soccer, but it didn't meet team standards. Reiss notes that some Patriots players recently indicated the turf was too soft.
The Patriots opened their season at home against the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday and won't return to Gillette Stadium until Sept. 24.
New England only played two other preseason games on the synthetic turf before opting for the change.
