Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2925263, member: 2141"] There are oth farctors, too. In many countries, the 1 outdoor field sport is soccer/football. Here and there, their maybe a local Rugby, Cricket or Hurling Club; but, that's it. In the US, we have soccer, football, baseball, lacrosse, and even rugby, too. Thus, especially in the built-up cities and burbs with open space at a premium, Then throw in rain, snow, heat, cold. The result is that turf is the only choice as grass cannot handle that much use. In my town in North Jersey where we take good care of the town's main rec field complex, the grass was a disastor by mid-October between the never-ending rain and use by football (rec and travel football ages 7 - 13), fall travel baseball and softball (ages 9 through 14), and boys and girls soccer (rec, travel, club and high school ages 7 through 18).
