Due to its poor design players received serious turf burns on any area of their body that was exposed to the turf. Since players were also wearing the wrong shoes they often suffered from serious knee and ankle injuries too. Fortunately, things have greatly improved since then and now many players think that this playing on turf is better than playing on grass. The Turf’s Longevity Today’s artificial turf no longer need to be replaced every 5 years. This is different from grass fields that must be replaced every other year unless it’s meticulously maintained.
