| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the trend of using a variety of synthetic turf colors for playing fields. Mentions Canyon and Hays high schools in Texas, Boise State University, Eastern Washington University, and the University of Central Arkansas as schools that have used colored synthetic fields. Examines the University of Arkansas' proposed annual maintenance costs. Recommends the use of synthetic turf "as the only logical solution" in some instances, but warns against the "cost savings and environmental claims" promoted by the synthetic turf industry. Notes that while old synthetic turf fields can sometimes be reused, the author questions what happens to the majority of discarded synthetic turf. |
