There are much better turfs available than the piece of carpet on concrete. Although I don't know what stadiums are actually using these days.
I wonder if you could cut down on injuries by using one of the "natural" turfs and then restricting the size and type of cleats. Players wouldn't be able to cut as hard, but it would be true for everyone. |

It's when turf grabs and then bunches is what causes the most significant injury related to turf..hence "turf toe." However, there are many more related injuries that recieve just as much attention...both knee and hamstring injuries are often attributed to turf.

i can say, as a kid, all the way up to my late 20's, i ran around on nothing but natural grass. rain, snow, or shine, and never tore an acl, an achilles, a hamstring, twisted an ankle or two, but was never bothered.
no i cannot say synthetic turf is worse, but i would be hard pressed to find something other than a natural running surface that is better than nature. i think 2 million different animal species would agree.

Being the Pats, you would think they would have found a way to have their turf only injure opposing teams players.

However, despite the ass-kicking, I'll bet you five bucks a) the Patriots still finish with a better record than KC, and b) the Chiefs have to come back to Gillette in the playoffs. And Belichick probably thinks the same so he's thinking ahead. He's installing a special new turf, much like the old Boston Garden parquet floor that had deadspots the Celtics knew about. This new turf will have controllable pockets he can activate with the iWatch he got from the Red Sox so, as a Chief passes over the spot on a passing route or running with the football, he can deflate the turf spot and cause a trip or fumble or a slowdown that results in an INT. Book it. Pats beat the Chiefs in the AFCCG, 27-24, when the Chiefs are driving for a TD and the WR mysteriously "slips" and causes a game-ending pick. |

I hope every single Patriots away opponent installs that soft turf when the Pats come to visit.
