In addition to allowing for extensive daily use and increasing revenue opportunities, synthetic turf fields:
- Decrease water consumption costs, conserving several billion gallons of water annually.
- Allow for longer seasonal usage because of their fast-draining capabilities.
- Require no mowing, no painting, no fertilizing and no applying of pesticides, significantly reducing workloads, lowering budget requirements and eliminating potential harm to the environment.
While the decision to replace a grass sports field should not be taken lightly or made in haste, mounting evidence suggests that artificial turf is the safer choice.
