The team that gains possession after halftime is, in most cases, either the team that lost the opening coin toss, or the team that opted to defer to start the game. About 60 percent of teams that win the coin-flip select to receive the opening kick-off, according to the New York Times.

As for grass fields the end zones are usually just painted over with green paint (the paint is bio-degradable and harmless to the grass).

The reason: the side with Lincoln’s head on it is a bit heavier than the flip side, causing the coin’s center of mass to lie slightly toward heads. The spinning coin tends to fall toward the heavier side more often, leading to a pronounced number of extra “tails” results when it finally comes to rest.
