CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The FieldTurf at Bank of America received positive reviews as the Carolina Panthers completed first practice on the new surface Friday night at FanFest. Obviously having no injuries on it was great.”Seventeen of the NFL’s 32 team play on some sort of natural surface, while 15 play on artificial turf. “We took it kind of easy just to get our feet under us and get used to the surface,” McCaffrey said. Carolina’s stadium’s grass surface had been regularly among the tops in the NFL in surveys surveys compiled by the NFL Players Association. The players’ union has been opposed in the past to artificial surfaces, saying natural grass is better for players’ safety.
