The Facts:
The Colts have picked a new synthetic turf to replace one of the NFL's worst playing fields. FieldTurf will replace the RCA Dome's 8-year-old AstroTurf for the upcoming season. Indianapolis and St. Louis were voted the league's worst fields in a survey of about 1,500 players by the NFL Players Association released in February.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The RCA Dome and Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis were the only two stadiums last season that had AstroTurf, which has less padding, more awkward seams and, many believe, increases the chances for injury than the newer artificial surfaces that look and feel more like grass. The Rams announced their intention to with FieldTurf in 2005 on Tuesday.
