illwauk Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think Marquette's club football team still plays on old school AstroTurf. They were still using it a few years ago when I played club ball for Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Dayton University had astroturf forever. And for some strange reason the Ohio High school athletic association played a lot of football playoff games on it. My high school got to the final four a couple years ago and all the players had to go buy basketball shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Texas Longhorns baseball. Not sure if they changed it with the recent renovations, but I believe they used to. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 No poster here is related to me.Astroturf is the preferred surface for field hockey.Yeah there's a lot of field hockey fields with astroturf. I had club lacrosse tryouts on the astroturf here (the field hockey and occasionally the women's lacrosse teams play there) and couldn't stand it, especially after playing my senior year of high school on Fieldturf.In the world of NCAA Men's Lacrosse I think Princeton's Class of 52 Stadium's the only one still with Astroturf.

friarcanuck Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 From the look of it, I think the NLL uses Astroturf. I makes sense for NLL and Arena football to use it.The FieldTurf installed at Olympic Stadium and Roger Centre was weird to step on, like walking around on an overturned push broom.

TxRangersFan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 But, it still has rubber pellets and sand and is a lot more giving than the old stuff.Why do the FieldTurf surfaces have these pellets? And over time, do the grounds crew have to pour new pellets onto the fields? May God bless you all and fill your hearts with faith, hope, and love!

TopCat Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 FieldTurf is awful too. After running around on that crap you have to dump out your shoes because they're half full of those damn pellets. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
