Grass does not grow free. I know some School Systems spend several thousands a year to maintain a Field. The Tax payers pay for that. Artificial Turf is a must for School Systems with limited space.

The people who maintain the grass are usually already hired by the school like janitors. The price of grass is nothing in comparison to a quarter of a million for turf that may last 5 to 10 years.
if you all like turf that's fine. Me personally I'd much rather see and sMell Bermuda anyday. I hope Whitley never makes the mistake of getting turf.
