The new artificial turf is so nice on the legs. I used to ref lacrosse on many of the HS fields in northern Utah,

I wish BYU had a field like Boise State. You don't get that blue with real grass

Have you ever been tackled on artificial turf? Its more painful than falling

Painful in that you get a carpet burn sure . . . But if it hurts that much you

Much more fun to play, not as easy to watch by the soccer-ignorant.

I played both. There's nothing about Soccer that is better than Football

I played both. Yes there is. Both are fun. Time to move on.

It sucks to play any sport on. Soccer is the worst.

I actually practiced on the newer turf that they have now days (back in 2002)

Where?

BYU practice fields. Lockerroom was still in the field house but they had put in

Plus "carpet" burns and the sun heats it up hotter.

The sun is a factor

It’s on the ESPN app, so you can watch it if you have ESPN+

Also on ESPN 3 if you have sling.

In my 5 years in Europe, every ESPN owned game was on ESPN player. I would expect it to show up.

I’ll take the natural grass over the bright-colored end zone and logos on turf.

A lot of big time blue-blood programs use turf

Uh no they did not. They barely went from grass to the nice new turf recently.

Well, you could look it up. Here, this came out a few months ago:

You realize that was an April Fools Joke? I was on the field a month ago.

Remember the first year that the new grass was used? Big chunks of it would dislodge leaving patches of open soil.

I might be remembering wrong, but I recall the FSU coach being pretty upset

It was — right after. I was at that game and it happened a lot. Miserable game to drive through the night for.

It's cheaper to have field turf and the new stuff is far safer than old astro turf

I don’t blame high schools because of the cost

The one downside of grass. Doesn't it kill it when they do that, so they only do it the last game?
