Require sporting stadium playing surface be natural grass
This bill requires professional sporting stadiums with a seating capacity of ten thousand or more to use a playing surface made of at least ninety percent natural grass. It directly affects facilities hosting National Football League, Major League Baseball, and Major League Soccer events by mandating that these fields be maintained at industry-standard levels for high performance. The legislation defines a professional athlete and specifies the types of stadiums covered to ensure compliance with these new surface requirements.
