I just think it looks amateur compared to what some powerhouse schools do.

BYU field - as with most things I consider beautiful - I prefer real to fake.

Real grass never looks amateur. Faded field turf looks amateur

The paint takes a toll on the grass. Utahs is fake.

Climate probabaly has something to do with it.

All those locations can regrow grass for most of the year

Cost is not a factor, Clark. High schools all over

This has been discussed many, many times. Blue paint is bad for the grass. Grass

Real grass all day long. No question.

I'll take grass over turf any day...

I like real grass. Turf burns through shoes if it's hot outside, grass won't.

Our grass is gorgeous.

Grass over turf all day. Our grounds crew has done a great job w/ LES

RES turf wore out prematurely, that's why they're changing it already.

They have also had to replace it 3 times in 8 years due to poor quality turf.

Grass > any artificial surface ever

I think it is 100% dependant on the location.
