Extend Play
Turf fields give us tremendous options in terms
of year-round training no matter what the
weather. The (Turf) fields play very similar to
grass so we do not have to compromise any aspect
of our training." - Steve Swanson, head women's
soccer coach, University of Virginia

Reduce Costs
Turf is a product that our players and coaches
have a great deal of confidence in. The new
surface also benefits BGSU on two fronts. It
allows us greater flexibility with the stadium,
meaning many of our teams can practice on the
surfaceSecondly, we expect to see cost savings
over time related to maintenance of the old
surface."- Asst VP/Director of Athletics Greg
Christopher, Bowling Green

natural grass or Turf, and they choose Turf every
time. This is a true testament to the product."

Reduction of injuries
Galaxy president/GM Alexi Lalas said nobody at
his club is worried about additional chances of
further injury on the artificial turf. The
material used in Turf and other, similar, modern
brands is far superior to earlier versions. -
