Does anyone out there have any experience with the Astroturf brand "Fieldturf". I am a junior high coach and the high school I feed into is planning on installing this this summer and I was wondering what I can expect as far as quality, playability, etc... We play our games at the high school stadium.

I don't know the brand, but the rubberized turf with the rubber pellets is sweet stuff. I'd assume that all the new stuff is this kind, if it is, you'll like it, have them wear their regular cleats on it.

Dang SHOW OFF!  If you all look real close down by the 5yd line, there is a groove in the turf running to the back of the endzone, this is where TTH got planted by the punt coverage team and turf tumbled 15 yards....LMAO hahhaahahahha  Seriously though, that is PRETTY!!!! |

Actually, JH it was right where the "S" in Miners is located. That was pre turf. They could have dug a hole there and buried me under the S. I literally got hit standing on the goaline and landed at the top of the S near the back of the endzone. The turf was put in by a company called, non other than, Grass Valley Turf Co. www.grassvalleyturfco.comThey put in the field at Texas Stadium in Dallas. |

The best surface I've ever played on. We had it in college and it was great. Excellent footing in all contions, plus you don't get torn up like the old astroturf. You're lucky to be playing on this stuff!
