Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp also plays his home games at SoFi Stadium and he was asked about the playing surface during a Thursday media session.
“It’s not even close,” Kupp said, via Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. “I know there’s stuff going around the league right now, there’s some issues. Hands down, we should be playing on grass. Hands down, we should be on grass. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Kupp’s comments echo NFLPA president JC Tretter’s belief that all games should be played on grass. They aren’t the first to raise the issue, but fourteen of the league’s stadiums currently use artificial surfaces and there does not appear to be much of a move to push things in the other direction.

This is getting interesting. Kroenke is one of the richest owners in the league, and the way I understand it there's no way for the SoFi turf to be converted to grass. Two NFL teams play at his stadium, and the now the best player on the team he owns is blasting the turf at SoFi.
