All I can compare is local high school fields...

Would I rather play on LIberty High School's grass (at the HS, where the JV and Freshmen play) or Truman's FieldTurf?

Liberty's grass...no question. Mowed and kept up like a Fairway.


Would I rather play on FieldTurf, like at Truman, or grass like they have at Lee's Summit. FieldTurf, in a second.


I have actually read that there are some growing injury concerns on FieldTurf vs grass. I don't know how or why, but there have been a few studies.


However, as a coach, I'd MUCH rather have FieldTurf. You can practice on it daily, no matter the weather. Only downside for me is I can't chew sunflower seeds on it.
