I got into this conversation with a friend this morning. Essentially a guy used to work locally here with Scotts Miracle grow and now works for sprintturf.

I am wondering what stadiums have real grass and which have artificial.

I remember when Nippert went artificial. I wasn't sure if there was a trend towards real grass due to injuries on turf.

What are most of the stadiums locally?

GABP and FCC are both real grass. Everything else I've seen is field turf. Field Turf doesn't have the injuries that astroturf did.

Thanks!

Most high schools are even going to turf. Baseball/Softball fields are headed that way as well.

Astroturf. Should have just called it Spaceconcrete. Stuff was awful.
