No Synthetic Grass.. - New England Patriots Forums

I know the field looks like crap, and it would look much nicer on TV with the fake grass.. But count me out on the syntetic grass, I know Brady has a great record on it, but I want the real stuff, just re sod it and take care of it better, That is all.. But no fake stuff for me..

I would be okay with the field turf stuff like Nebraska plays on. It looks and feels like grass and isn't nearly has hard on the players as the stuff that the Colts use.

I would think that RK has too much invested only to just yank it all out and field turf it.

But how about a Pats Blue field like Boise State's Smurf Turf. Or maybe one humongous Flying Elvis field. Hmmmm.....

The Colts have been using the field turf for a couple years now.

Now that could get interesting. Entierly possible with sythetic turf, too.

NOOOOO!!!! That Boise State field is hideous. Trying to watch a game being played on a blue field would give me migraines.

Mike Compton said it best on NFL Countdown a few years back when field turf was starting to pop up around the league... paraphrasing... "It's still turf. It's turf dressed up."

Keep the grass.

field turf is not that expensive, and cheap to maintain. I wouldnt mind it. Or maybe we can just hire the eagles groundkeeper.

Keep the grass.

The only problem is, the field they're playing on now is almost as bad as the old astroturf when they first came out with it. A field covered in broken glass would be better.

I have followed Nebraska forever and their fieldturf is awesome. With that said however I would still rather have grass! Something has to be done though because this is getting out of hand, it's been bad in the past but that's allways been late in the year--and never this bad. That field is a joke right now!
