Natural turf is far superior if maintained properly. Russell only has 1 guy who's main job is maintenance that takes care of that field ,and it's probably all he can do to keep it mowed and painted. If we have natural turf done properly like that at Boyd Co, Ashland or Mason Co it will take a crew from the school to add additional duties to their jobs or get someone to dedicate themselves to taking care of the field like Doug Childers(South Ashland Greenhouse)of Ashland did with Putnam for so many years before he passed away.

I don't like Field Turf because I like the effect weather has on a natural surface. Field Turf IMO takes away a whole historical dynamic of the game itself. When a passing team with lots of speed comes into a game against a grind it out team natural turf has a way of leveling the playing field and you in turn see some titanic struggles when you have bad weather.

Field turf would look incredible with maroon and gold colored end zones but part of the game is lost forever.

Or give someone a job?
