The Facts:
The Steelers have decided to stick with grass at Heinz Field, but they have not yet determined what kind it will be, sources confirmed. Although Steelers President Art Rooney and chairman Dan Rooney each declined to comment, sources told the Post-Gazette that during meetings the past week, they decided not to install any kind of artificial turf.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Dan Rooney has been in favor of grass since Heinz Field opened, citing his players' overwhelming support for such a surface and surveys he says indicate fewer and less serious injuries occur on grass fields. However, NFL Players Association surveys consistently put Heinz Field near the bottom of the league in playing surfaces.
