Regs said:I really hate to always hear "... the cost of maintaining a grass field..." - give me a fcuking break. How hard can it be? 2 man hours a week to cut the grass? Maybe an extra 10 hours a month on average to resod patches, put sand ontop in winter? That's 208 hours per year, hell, throw in an extra 92 hours to make it an even 300.
$50 an hour = 15000 a year.
What's a new Fieldturf install cost? A Million? And it lasts 7-10 years?
Do the math and then discuss.
