[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 111351, member: 265"] At the time, the players complained that running on the astroturf was like running on a street. Had it's points, mainly due to the speed you could get up to, but I was glad when the studies of injuries on astroturf came out. A [I]lot[/I] more injuries, as you might expect. If I remember right, it was slightly fewer knee ligament and cartilage injuries more then made up for by more shoulder injuries, broken bones, and bruises of all kinds. I thank the Power Above that I played my whole "career" (such as it was) on natural turf. But, hey, it was easier and cheaper to maintain! What's a few more injuries next to that? [/QUOTE]
