NFL field director Nick Pappas detailed the plans for a program on Thursday that will provide each team "a library of approved and accredited NFL fields" before the start of next season. Any new field will immediately have to meet those standards and all teams will have two years to achieve the standards, whether they use a grass or synthetic surface or a hybrid. Most artificial surfaces are replaced every two or three years, Pappas said. Natural fields can be replaced several times a season.
