Field turf

[afterhours]

i've heard that little nubs( not to be confused with nibs ) fly up off the field.

I've heard it's ground up rubber.

I didn't even think of it having to be porous for drainage. That makes sense. Thanks.

It's ground up tires , the Pats are the 1st ones with this field turf that is using a new brown colored "pellet" as they call them.
Biggest complaint about the field turf is that up till now the pellets have been black, so instead of grass or mud stains, players are covered in black after a game.
