[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 12101, member: 260"] Ford Field uses fieldturf. This is the same surface as used inside the Don Hudson center and at Randall Field (where the Badgers play.) It's a totally artificial indoor surface which uses woven plastic grass with a strong matting underneath. On the top, ground up rubber pellets are mixed into the plastic grass. As players run and hit the turf, the rubber pellets bounce into the air. These pellets can potentially be swollowed or get caught in a player's eye, but both are very rare. I play soccer on fieldturf during the winter, and it's a great indoor surface to play on. The surface that is now on the Packers' outdoor practice field is a natural grass surface. To keep the grass turf bound more tightly for wear and tear, the plastic strands are woven into the turf. Under the turf they've placed sand for drainage. Of course the problem here is that sand has a loose hold of the ground, which means it's more difficult to keep the turf from being torn up. [/QUOTE]
