few years ago, our National Stadium was rebuilt and they were many complains about the glass not up to standard from many people. I think it's not easy to maintain but people still expect real grass. BTW, checked this in your post:
we had "too" walk to the television.

UV for you.  Good post man.  

Depending on where you live, some of this may come  down to political  lobbying by the companies associated with the production and maintenance K's for these artificial fields.  

#### They lobby city officials to get the K. 

#### They lobby the state for funding of same pushed to the Municipal/city level.  


Basically they get greased to push this stuff which does have benefits like you said.

### But there ain't no $$ for them if a field stays real grass!  

I know some of this stuff due to my political activist work analyzing data and policy and then calling out the corruption.  

Have a nice day, TY again for all your support on here.

If it's the ground up rubber used for your turf, I am sorry. It's just waste disposal for tires. I don't like them one bit. The little rubber bits get in clothes. And the fields don't last as long as they are advertised. They are expensive. Have you asked any of the kids how they like playing on them?

a few jobs made and a few jobs lost , just a money spinner for a business  resulting in grass being replaced by this stuff ,  nothing better than smelling the fresh aroma of plastic in the morning

It all depends on where you live, the climate in middle and northern parts of Sweden is so poor 9 months á year that only artificial grass or gravel pitch are viable. If the climate is well then real grass is the only sane option. 

But there's also something called Hybrid Grass which is getting more and more popular!
