That is all from 4 years ago when I was on here trying to get posters to tell me what fields had which playing surface. I always questioned that one.

Muda69 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 More wasted taxpayer dollars. And increased serious injury opportunities for the children playing on such a surface (this is well documented, I will not get into another discussion concerning this proven point again.) All so somebody doesn't have to mow the grass, paint some lines, and sometimes wash muddy uniforms. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe every public school board in the state must face voters every four years, so……I’m guessing they don’t really give a shit what you think Muda. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never vote for a government school board candidate who champions artificial surfaces for football fields, or for most any outdoor extracurricular activity.

I understand your position and I am not looking for a gotcha moment here, but Do you think there are any advantages to having artificial surfaces?

And while we're on the topic... I know soccer people don't like the turf for soccer, I don't have a lot of opinion there.... For baseball/softball it's tremendous. Keeping the batters boxes level probably being the biggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer tends to have the same issues as bat and ball sports, how the ball “scoots” off the turf. I think the infill is slightly different than football to slow it down.

Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
