There continues to be an ongoing debate over the merits of artificial turf as a reasonable alternative to natural grass in a number of different sports. Concerns of various kinds are continually being raised but there is an important factor that many soccer club officials find very impressive, synthetic turf pitches ensure that previously washed out matches get played.
The Maryland SoccerPlex gives a fascinating insight into the question over what benefits can be attained through the use of artificial turf. This is an interesting facility because it contains a combination of both natural grass and synthetic turf fields meaning that a direct comparison may be made between the two types of surface.
What the operators of the SoccerPlex has discovered is that the three synthetic turf fields at the facility have been a huge revenue generator. Here is a complex that can make a direct comparison between the cost of its natural grass fields and its synthetic turf fields as well as the financial benefits that such a surface can bring to the owners.
An interesting figure to come out of the usage of the facility in 2009 was that the only soccer fields in use on some rainy weekends during the season were on the synthetic turf fields at the facility. By providing this type of service the installation of the artificial turf soccer fields at the facility has been easily justified.
By ensuring that matches can be played on the artificial turf fields no matter what the weather is a facility such as the SoccerPlex in Maryland has no trouble filling its booking sheet. In fact, the complex at Maryland has had to turn business away because it has been completely booked out.
The consistency of surface and the certainty that all games scheduled for the season will be played combines to make a very strong argument for an increasing number of sporting facilities to convert from natural grass to synthetic grass.
