I understand the durability and maintenance arguments for having artificial turf, but grass is grass. Makes me a bit sad to think our kids are going to play on plastic or recycled tires.
There of course is the issue of injuries. It is clear the NFL players association favors grass fields.
But do what you folks will. Maybe the baseball fields can still remain grass.
