there are not a lot more injuries on these new turfs, they are fantastic


the biggest con with these turfs are the heat buildup in the south, but that can be managed. there is very little maintenance savings, just different types of maintenance

if we could actually grow that foley shite, then yea it would be great...but our grounds crew is absolutely incompetent - so nothing short of firing them, or switching to field turf, is going to solve it

You have the turf grass confused with Astro Turf.

Then put it in. I'm not talking about Astroturf here. I am talking about the stuff that they have in the Superdome.

Or, anything faster than what we have now.

Or, anything better than what we have now.

Or, anything that is not a sandfilled mud pit.

Just anything, really.
