Fieldturf vs sod at Jack Trice | |
With renovation of the south endzone still a year away, there is still time for the debate on using Fieldturf, vs real sod. I have been a real sod supporter the past, but after visiting Nebraska's facilities last year, I'm not so sure anymore. Fieldturf has several advantges
1. Less maintence
2. Some say easier on the legs
3. Looks good all year when recruits visit
4. More weather resistant.
5. Can be used as a practice facility
The fact that Iowa State has such a strong turf management program, complicates the issue. But should that influence the decision? I don't know, but do know that after running on the field turf, it has a great feel and is impressive. After being on JT at the end of the season, the fieldturf sure looked better to me.
