NFL players continue to push for natural grass due to higher injury rates on turf, but owners stick with artificial fields because they're more profitable and allow venues like MetLife Stadium to host dozens of extra concerts and events each year.

Seeding fescue lawns in spring often fails because the grass has too little time to develop roots before summer heat, faces heavy weed competition, and typically dies off by mid-summer.

Should You Apply Lime Before or After Aeration

Lime balances soil pH while aeration relieves compaction, and both work together to boost nutrient absorption for healthier grass.
