This is the most significant article I have seen that indicates grass is significantly safer, at least as far as ACL's are concerned.
Another reason to choose State.

I prefer field turf but this is a very good point.
By field turf, you mean artificial turf, right?
FieldTurf is a name brand, and only some of the artificial turf systems installed around the country use FieldTurf artificial turf systems.Sorry... I couldn't help myself.

Pretty much confirms what all of us that have played ball for the last 30+ years have always said: ain't nothing like the real thing baby. Who else that we recruit against has natural grass? I know ND does...plus Purdue if I'm not mistaken: anyone else?

I mean, there's a marked difference between traditional 'Astro' turf and FieldTurf.
Astro turf is essentially a carpet on concrete and is awful.
FieldTurf is great to me because you get the consistent traction of Astro turf with the more forgiving quality of grass.
Natural fields can essentially feel like concrete when it's cold whereas FieldTurf does not.
What's more, if there's a divot in grass, it can be just as bad to have a misstep on it as one on Astro turf.
