Super Bore XXXVII and FieldTurf
Hello All:
I'm a huge sports fan, but one thing that I've not been able to watch since my team was last in is the Super Bowl. I'm sure that perhaps Cady, Scott, Melanie and others might be into it, but does anybody outside New England and North Carolina really care about this game? (rhetorical question). The rampant commercialism and hype really turns me off.
But that's just a rant. This is the GR Forum, so let me ask the real question...I believe they are using FieldTurf at Reliant Stadium for the game. Many parks and fields have started installing it because of the "real" feel to it and lack of watering, maintenance, etc. I've seen it marketed in the past few years to high-end residential properties and it may only be a matter of time before it trickles down to the masses.
In light of the threads on ecological awareness, design errors, and historical accuracy, if you were renovating a garden, do you see any situation where you might use FieldTurf? For example, in tropical gardens around the world, palm glades (palms in a huge lawn) are a common feature, but since water is a precious commodity in the West and I want to keep the grass to a minimum, I'll never do it.
But FieldTurf may change that equation, though it's still too costly to me and no matter how real it it feels or looks, I know "it's fake."
How about you?
