Pros And Cons Of Synthetic

The commitment to athletics in Division III has lead to money being spent on new sports and recreation facilities. So much so that it’s been put to question if there is an “arms race” to who can build the biggest and

With natural grass, the cost is drastically less. While installing artificial turf costs as much as 900,000 dollars, the price of natural grass is about 53,000 dollars. The price of the two fields is so dramatically different, that it is worth the money to stay with a natural field. With all the extra money, the infinite possibilities of upgrades on your field are incredible, from new equipment to keeping your grass clean, mowed, and green. Although natural grass is quite cheap, you must maintain it round the year, but with artificial turf, you must maintain it, but slightly less

As the popularity of soccer increases, controversy in relation to safety concerns continues to rise as well. Due to the ineffectiveness of protective headgear among soccer players, athletes should focus on alternatives to successfully prevent injuries. Concerned parents, coaches, and athletes should heightening rules and regulations and should properly evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the soccer gear (i.e., balls, gloves, etc.) being used in order to reduce chances of serious

Lower maintenance costs. There's no need to mow synthetic turf, which in the growing season, can be as often as 2 to 3 times a week. This saves on fuel and labor costs.

Disparity in the quality of facilities for boys’ and girls’ teams. The OCR found that the softball field is below the quality of the baseball field.

Stadium subsidies are used to fiancé new stadiums. The government provides financial support to franchises that allows them to build their new stadiums. These subsidies are costing tax payers millions and do not seem to be in the best interest of the city the stadium is in. Those in favor of using tax payer dollars to build stadiums argue that the economic impact a professional franchise has on a city is great and a new stadium will help generate revenue. Research has shown this is not the case. Most stadiums cost the city and never produce enough revenue to make up for those costs (Bast, 1990).

Wood, multi-purpose, and concrete are the three types of court surfaces being experimented on. “All professional and collegiate leagues use hardwood court for their basketball games.” (Lorelie). There’s logic in why they use them. For example, Wood courts got referred to as one of the softest courts. Concrete surfaces got researched too. “These are the most popular types of surfaces for outdoor basketball courts. In fact, nearly all who play basketball starts playing on concrete or asphalt court.” (Lorelie). This shows, they must be popular for their spring, and for being compact and durable. Multi-purpose floor got researched last, because it’s little rarer than the other floorings. They have a

Some people might say that building an indoor baseball, softball, and football field is a waste of money and it would be too expensive. Each day people would have to pay a certain amount of money per hour they are there, or they could get a membership. If there are tournaments, the teams have to pay to enter them. Also Eldred could have fundraisers to earn money for the fields.

In addition to the field itself, all that is needed for a game is two goals (eight feet high and eight yards apart) and a ball. Each player wears hard plastic or padded shingaurd, covered by long socks, for protection during play. Cleats are also worn for traction on the field. A goalie may also wear a special padded shirt, and gloves to protect his or her hands. A standard field, as regulated by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (or FIFA), has a length between 100 and 130 yards, and a width of between 50 and 100 yards.

Prestige Buffalo turf and Sir Walter turf are all-rounder natural grass turf varieties. They can thrive in full sun and shady areas and still stay green all year round. Both have good resistance against weed, fungus, and lawn disease. Furthermore, both Sir Walter lawn and Prestige Buffalo lawn are low maintenance lawns, meaning they require less watering, fertilising, and mowing compared to other lawn varieties. Of course, because of these fine characteristics,

In addition to increased safety and school pride provided by a custom 360 indoor football surface, our Syngrass field will save your school money over the long

Proponents of subsidizing sports stadiums is a great decision because the economic impact it will have on the community is great for two main reasons. First, sports stadiums are massive construction projects. In fact, one could compare them to a medieval cathedral in their attempts to dominate a skyline and inspire pride in one’s city And, just like these cathedrals, they are very expensive, and massive building projects that would require many years of hard painstaking labor. For example, the proposed stadium for the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood, California, was predicted to cost $3 billion and add 22,000 construction jobs to the economy of Los Angeles, California. Although construction jobs do eventually disappear once a stadium is constructed once the games begin, so does the massive consumer spending. For example, more than 3.5 million people saw the St. Louis Cardinals play at Busch Stadium in 2015.

   Abstract:  The Stadium  construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want.  These new stadiums create only part-time jobs.  Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities.  The teams are turning public money into private profit.  Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense.  The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier.  New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education.  Public money

It felt so good to be on the pitch playing the game that I love, especially on a perfect day like this. As I was jumping into the air to get my head on the perfect ball my friend just played me, the warm, calm, spring breeze surrounded me. The springtime air made me feel as if I could jump as high as I wanted to, but as you may know there’s gravity so I couldn’t. Realizing that gravity would eventually take over, I was on my way down to the solid, plastic like astroturf. This astroturf was some of the worst I have ever played on. Spread out unevenly, tough, the green plastic pieces were very short and some spots were missing those. The spot of where I landed was very unfortunate. Patch of all just straight turf, no plastic grass like

Unfortunately, these arguments contain bad economic reasoning that leads to overstatement of the benefits of stadiums. Economic growth takes place when a community's resources--people, capital investments, and natural resources like land--become more productive. Increased productivity can arise in two ways: from economically beneficial specialization by the community for the purpose of trading with other regions or from local value added that is higher than other uses of local workers, land, and investments. Building a stadium is good for the local economy only if a stadium is the most productive way to make capital investments and use its workers.
