Anybody catch the sheen from the lights of that "fake-grass" turf in the Eagles-Ravens preseason game tonight on Fox?
<BR>
<BR>I know the "NuTurf" was installed last year at the Vet, but I guess I saw no Eagles´ night games. The stuff is pretty cool and grass-like, as an indoor soccer facility about 3 miles from my house has it.
<BR>
<BR>Anyone know anything about the stuff? What are the advantages over carpet turf?
<BR>
<BR>And will the Eagles have a Corey Hart Night during an Eagles´ night game this year? You know, "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" to protect every one from turf glare? <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
<BR>
<BR>Take care,
<BR>PK
Damn, that Philly turf is funky

The team my brother coaches for has that turf, and says its awesome. Durable like astro-turf, but soft like grass, but it doesn´t burn your skin like astro turf does. I just wish they would have had it in Husky stadium when I played there, that turf they used to have, left me with no skin on my arms or elbows. They have it there now.

It´s called "NexTurf" and living near Philly it´s actually quite good. The players seem to like it and think it´ll do for this year. It´s a lot better than the turf they had 2 years ago which was like cement. Next year the Birds move into Lincoln Financial Field in South Philly where they´ll have a grass field.

I remember that Wendell Davis play. Tore both patella tendons without getting hit. Was just closing on a deep pass and his feet stuck to the turf. Only time I have ever seen anyone sustain 2 knee injuries on the same play.

<BR>Can you imagine, both patella tendon, thats gotta smart.
