Green Bay Packers – Lambeau Field
Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, is the only stadium in the NFL that does not have FieldTurf. The playing surface is natural grass, which is a rarity in the league these days.
Seattle Seahawks – CenturyLink Field
The playing field at CenturyLink Field is made up of real grass that is grown specifically for the stadium. The grass is a beautiful shade of green that really pops against the white of the end zones. The field is well-maintained and provides a great surface for the players to compete on.
Baltimore Ravens – M&T Bank Stadium
The Baltimore Ravens home stadium, M&T Bank Stadium, does indeed have real grass. You’ll find this state-of-the-art facility located in downtown Baltimore. It’s easily accessible via public transportation and has a capacity of 71,008 fans.

Minnesota Vikings – U.S. Bank Stadium
U.S. Bank Stadium is home to the Minnesota Vikings and is one of the newest stadiums in the NFL, opening in 2016. The stadium has a retractable roof, which is a first for an NFL stadium, and a fixed glass window on one side of the stadium. The grass field is made up of 24 trays that each weigh 800 pounds and are watered by an underground irrigation system.
Los Angeles Rams – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
The Los Angeles Rams play their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which is located in Los Angeles, California.
