Article 39
Players’ Rights To Medical Care and Treatment

Section 11(e)
Field Surface Safety & Performance Committee

In furtherance of NFL and the NFLPA’s ongoing efforts and express intention to enhance the safety and performance of NFL field surfaces and playing areas, and thereby advance the safety and protect the health of NFL players, the Parties have agreed;

(e)

The NFLPA’s designated field surface consultant will be granted equal access to all NFL playing fields and field test results. For the avoidance of doubt, this access includes non-traditional venues (e.g., London, Mexico City, Hall of Fame Game). The NFLPA’s field surface consultant will coordinate site visits with the NFL’s Playing Area Inspector.
