Watching the replay. BYU’s field is immaculate.
I don’t comprehend why any school that has the climate and can afford it wouldn’t have a grass field.

The new artificial turf is so nice on the legs. I used to ref lacrosse on many of the HS fields in northern Utah,

Have you ever been tackled on artificial turf? Its more painful than falling

Painful in that you get a carpet burn sure . . . But if it hurts that much you

Much more fun to play, not as easy to watch by the soccer-ignorant.

I played both. There's nothing about Soccer that is better than Football

It sucks to play any sport on. Soccer is the worst.

BYU practice fields. Lockerroom was still in the field house but they had put in

Plus "carpet" burns and the sun heats it up hotter.

It’s on the ESPN app, so you can watch it if you have ESPN+

Also on ESPN 3 if you have sling.

I’ll take the natural grass over the bright-colored end zone and logos on turf.

Uh no they did not. They barely went from grass to the nice new turf recently.

You realize that was an April Fools Joke? I was on the field a month ago.

Remember the first year that the new grass was used? Big chunks of it would dislodge leaving patches of open soil.

I might be remembering wrong, but I recall the FSU coach being pretty upset

It's cheaper to have field turf and the new stuff is far safer than old astro turf

The one downside of grass. Doesn't it kill it when they do that, so they only do it the last game?
