I know a lot of semi-professional soccer teams in the UK have started moving to artificial surfaces simply because they don't want to deal with a fixture pile-up at the end of the season when most of their players are still doing proper jobs during the day, and also it allows the pitches to be used for kids cup finals and not have to worry about the surface degrading

Can artificial turf give us this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7DTNEa2E7w It's the punt from Dolphins at Steelers 2007 where it just sticks right into the mud.

The Kingdome's lovely concrete turf ruined Griffey's knees and I will never forgive them for it

Turf looks better they should just make it work correctly. Make it out of better stuff

If artificial turf is so dangerous why don’t they just make some kind of synthetic grass?

In college my home Rugby field was turf. Got pieces of rubber in my eyes scratching my cornea 3+ times. Grass forever

They need to study it more but there could be health risks with the little shredded tire pieces they use to fill the artificial field. Not only scratching eyeballs but there are nasty chemicals in automobile tires. Whether or not swallowing a few tire bits during games or inhaling the dust will definitely give you cancer hasn't been proven yet but i think that idea is picking up steam. If you ask me they could use a purer more inert type of rubber or something other than car tires, which are manufactured with complex processes and ingredients you may not expect. PFAS and other things as posted earlier. Just don't use shredded car tires for fill and avoid that problem?

love da toif. Maybe go the opposite direction and use turf fill that releases oxygen when agitated and helps players breathe better.  nanobubbles™

I wonder if that's what will be the huge killer of our generation. The plastics. Or maybe vaping. People seem to vape a shitload without any long term studies completed.

Most often there is a base layer of rubber granules or sand, known as infill, which helps the grass to spring back up and prevents patches of damage. There are various different processes, but this is the one used by most football stadiums.

Rather see the tires turned into field chunks than be buried on your water table or turned into the Springfield tire fire. That said I'd be lightly concerned about high temps and the rubber releasing stuff and they probably could study what chemicals seep out at what temps that can be seen on a field as the planet heats up. Mostly cause they do get way hotter than a grass field and that has its own health complications, might as well look at it all eventually.

They already know how hot tire material can get before it starts breaking down and you'd need surface temps to increase by triple digits for that to happen.

Artificial turf broke Burrow's throwing wrist. It's absolutely loving disgusting what they're letting happen out there on the field.
