Artificial Turf for Campuses—Colleges with Synthetic Sports Fields
In 2014, Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, made a big change. They decided to swap out their real grass for artificial turf for campuses. The reason? In 2013, Notre Dame University replaced its live lawn four times in a single year. They even had to redo their live sod in the middle of peak football season. Huge effort and expense went into replacing the old classic lawn each time. Games and events had to be pushed back and the schedule changes created a headache for teams and fans. The cost of new sod and labor on a tight timeline wreaked havoc with athletic budgets. By choosing faux grass, Notre Dame has chosen a reliable and cost-saving surface for their winning team.
Synthetic Grass for College Sports Fields—Advantages for All-Weather Play
Heavy rains can easily delay campus games. Although synthetic turf won’t stop the rain; the next day, it can make playing on a college sports field much easier. Synthetic grass for college sports fields drains fast and fully, so it is less likely to flood during wet seasons. The next day, there’s no mud that can cause slipping, fumbles, and injury.
During sunny months, the cost of watering a real grass field skyrockets. To compensate for the heat, sprinklers have to kick into high gear to keep the real grass green and soft. In addition, replanting is a must when bare patches are worn down to the dirt by hard impact in the heat. With a real grass substitute, maintenance is a snap in any weather, and water use stays low. The fact that fake lawn saves water is great news for the bottom line, and for the planet.
