Steelers re-sod parts of Heinz Field
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are replacing some of Heinz Field's grass only three games into the season.
Workers tore up the areas between the hash marks and put down new grass this week, in time for the South Florida-Pitt game on Saturday and the Vikings-Steelers game on Sunday.
The Steelers returned to playing on an all-grass field this season because it allows them to re-sod any area that becomes worn. Some bare spots in the middle of the field were noticeable during the Browns-Steelers game on Sunday.
