Artificial Grass

The FieldTurf system employs a shock-absorbing rubber/sand infill surrounding each blade of smooth synthetic grass. The special infill gives FieldTurf the same torque release as natural grass and allows cleated shoes to easily penetrate, rotate and release, minimizing the chance for motion related injury, according to the company. Maintenance fees are a fraction of the upkeep costs required to sustain a grass field.

The unique construction also allows athletes to slide on the surface, eliminating the incidence of “turf toe,” a common ailment on carpeted surfaces.
