The Steelers have reportedly decided to stick with a grass playing surface at Heinz Field for 2008. The players won't like this. Last year, Fred Taylor called the Heinz grass "a lawsuit pending." The longest kick ever made at the stadium is only 52 yards. A recent NFLPA poll showed players think of it as the worst surface in the league, and Players Association director Gene Upshaw called for the Steelers to make changes to the field in his Super Bowl press conference.
