@swmckewonOWH: a lot of people have asked, but no, the torn up FieldTurf will not be cut up into souvenirs and sold.

Surface temperature test:

 

Air Temperature = 94 degrees

Bermudagrass = 104 degrees (Bluegrass slightly lower temp)

Field Turf = 165 degrees

Coolplay = 130 degrees (as advertised)

 

A recent survey of 1,511 active NFL players by the NFL players association found that 73% of the players preferred playing on a natural grass system, while only 18% preferred artificial turf. Nine percent of the players had no preference

based on Turfgrass Science - Univ of Arkansas

 

I admit I'm biased. Still fighting for natural grass.

I know I'm not a football player, but I have marched on natural grass and the FieldTurf at Memorial Stadium. I like turf better because it's easier to get traction and softer on your knees. Grass is lumpy and is too high maintenance, in my opinion.

LOL. I know it. Next FieldTurf project, company engineers are trying to insert flubber derivatives, pending on NCAA gods.

 

HeyBurke, I respect your opinion but

is completely wrong

I'm aware of the evidence that says injuries are more prevalent on turf. I'm just stating my opinion. I like the feeling of walking on turf more than I do on grass, but I'm not the one playing football on it!

Bull****.................I was planning on buying some too!

They were loading dumptrucks with those rolls of the old stuff this morning. I should just go ask one of the workers if he will cut a little piece for me.

I just asked one of them. He said, "They told us it's our jobs if we let anyone near this stuff." So no, that's not likely to happen. I asked them where those trucks were headed once they left the stadium and this guy just smiled at me and said, "They've already dug a hole, and they're going to dump these rolls in and cover it with dirt right away."

 

So the chances of getting a piece of that turf are pretty much slim and none. I'd have taken a whole roll but I don't know if the entire offensive line could carry one. They're pretty heavy, and full of sand and rubber.

 

I really wanted to get in there and get a picture of the stadium with no turf, but they had it pretty well blocked off/guarded. Nobody in or out.

why are they treating it like nuclear waste?
