MetLife Stadium, which is shared by the New York Giants and New York Jets, is once again under fire for the field’s turf.

It seems as once there’s a major lower body injury to a player that’s playing in MetLife, the red flags begin to raise. 

Malik Nabers, who went down with a torn ACL this past Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, has become the newest case study in the NFLPA’s petition to ban artificial turf altogether.

Well one Giants legend, Odell Beckham Jr., most remembered for his spectacular one handed catch is calling out both the NFL and the Stadium.

He types on two separate posts on X, where he mentions that the league takes every precaution necessary on the players health, except when it comes to this particular issue, and then proceeds to dub MetLife as “DeathLife.”

The turf at MetLife Stadium has been an ongoing discussion for the better part of 10 or so years, and it’s clear that any time someone gets hurt there, the concerns get louder.

Since 2020, there’s been a growing list of serious lower body injuries in MetLife to high-profiled players such as Nick Bosa, Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Fuller, Andrew Thomas, Nabers.

Former NFL player and now college football analyst for CBS Sports, Bryant McFadden chimed in and relayed the same concerns as a lot of different players.

When Rodgers went down during his first game with the New York Jets, one of his former offensive linemen David Bakhtiari lashed out at the league due to turf fields.

The stadium, along with others across the league are planning to be a part of the 2026 soccer World Cup and they will be installing natural grass to help accommodate the tournament.

And that’s not a great look since players have been begging the league for grass fields for quite a bit of time.

What else is interesting, is that every team in the league happens to practice on natural grass, yet 14 of those teams are forced to use turf.

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer touched on this topic after Rodgers went down and mentioned the high cost of upkeeping grass with a select few games, and scattered concerts. And because of that, owners don’t see the value in spending that much to maintain the expensive costs of upkeep.

Indoor stadiums such as State Farm Stadium in Arizona and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas are interesting cases as both use natural grass, but the playing surface is actually retractable.

Whenever there isn’t a game, they wheel the grass outside the stadium so the field is more prone to the elements and limits constant upkeep.

The more the NFL continues to ignore this situation, the louder the complaints are going to get, and at some point, it will have to make a conscious decision on how to protect its players.
