[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side note - is artificial turf a lot less expensive to maintain than grass? [/quote] It depends on what standard you are maintaining it to. It is almost impossible to keep highly used grass fields in good condition. So sure if you have a weed and dirt field (like Carter Barron) and don't maintain it it costs nothing. Alternately if you re-sod a field every year to try to keep it in playing condition I'm guessing you are spending $50,000 for each re-sodding. My re-collection is that turf fields cost about $500,000. But then they have almost no maintenance costs and are always in playable condition and can be used continuously. I don't like turf myself but there really is no alternative in busy areas like ours and that is almost the consensus position of school systems and city park departments everywhere.[/quote]
