Benefits

Financial & environmental advantages of synthetic turf

Turf is not only a better playing surface — it costs the district less to keep, it is gentler on our groundwater, and it opens the stadium to far more of the community.

01

Lower maintenance costs

  • Reduced labor costs related to field maintenance and equipment.
  • Turf requires no mowing, which eliminates fuel and labor costs.
  • Eliminates costs for supplies, such as fertilizers and pesticides.
  • Regular turf maintenance only involves brushing and occasional vacuuming.
  • No required watering, which means a reduction in water and energy costs.
02

Environmentally friendly

  • Lower water use.
  • Removal of significant amounts of fertilizer and pesticides, which reduces the chance of contaminating groundwater.
  • Synthetic turf is commonly made of recycled materials.
03

Benefits in Community Memorial Stadium

  • Organizations such as the band, soccer teams, and youth football would have full access to the field.
  • Turf provides safe and consistent conditions for games and practices throughout the playing season.
  • Physical education classes could be conducted outdoors on the field.
  • The stadium would qualify for the hosting of official MHSAA events.
  • Positive economic impact on local businesses, as visitors come to our community for events at the stadium.
