This photo was taken in April, 1968 at Memorial Stadium in York, PA. which was then the home of the York Pirates. On April 21, 1968, it was the first official professional outdoor baseball game played on artificial turf. The Memorial Stadium infield was installed for free by the Monsanto Chemical Company. They also installed the artificial turf in the Houston Astrodome.

I always love the look of the turf at golf courses. It would definitely be awesome to be able to have turf like this in my back yard. It would be cool to be able to have a mini golf course in my yard, but it would also be great to be able to have turf instead of grass. It is interesting how common turf is becoming in America. It is definitely starting to be a new trend.

This is such a cool shot. The turf looks awesome. There are countless high school sporting fields that are slowly switching to turf fields rather than grass fields, seeing as they're so much easier to maintain. I personally prefer to run on turf rather than grass, so I think it's awesome. http://www.rmmaterials.com/turf.html
