Field Utility
There are three limiting factors affecting field utility
that must be addressed in comparing the different types of field surfaces.
For natural grass fields, the limiting factor is the wear of the grass
surface. Natural grass must be "rested" to allow the grass to
repair itself. Fieldturf is vastly more durable than natural grass and
therefore the limiting factor is the demand for the facility. Since
children and youths are the primary players, peak use is during or after
school hours. The third limiting factor that must be considered in
determining the overall cost is the longevity of the system. With an
unsurpassed life expectancy Of 8 to 15 years, depending on usage patterns,
the Fieldturf sports surface can stand up to continual use from athletes
whose cleats would tear away at a real grass field.

Use of Fieldturf |
| The use of Fieldturf is not limited.
Eventually over time they wear out but unlike grass fields,
Fieldturf does not need a rest period. Fieldturf can be used 24
hours a day, actual use will depend on user preferences. |
