Synthetic turf grass is a very popular surface for playing fields in high schools and colleges throughout the country. According to the Synthetic Turf Council, about half of all NFL teams play games on synthetic turf playing fields. So why do so many high schools and colleges switch to artificial turf lawn surfaces? There are many reasons.
The first reason is flexibility. Synthetic turf can be used as a playing surface for many sports, including football, soccer, hockey, baseball, rugby and lacrosse. This is a great plus for high schools and other facilities that use their fields for more than one sport. Another benefit of installing athletic-grade synthetic turf is water conservation. Synthetic turf does not need to be watered, saving schools and other facilities money on water bills.
However one of the main reasons for installing artificial lawn fields is that it increases playing time and safety. A synthetic turf field can be used up to three times more than a natural grass field, offering athletes increased play time and practice time. Artificial lawn fields are also safer than natural grass fields because they provide a consistent, uniform playing field.
