π‘ The Big Question: Is artificial turf really a cost-saving investment, or does grass win in the long run?
π Quick Comparison:
π What This Means:
β Artificial turf costs more upfront, but schools and sports teams may see savings over time.
β Natural grass is cheaper to install, but maintenance costs add up, making long-term expenses higher.
β Schools and cities with tight budgets may struggle with the high upfront costs of turf, even if it saves money later.
π Real-World Example:
In 2021, a high school football stadium in Texas spent $1.3 million on artificial turf but saved only $15,000 per year in maintenance. Was it worth it?
π± Final Thought:
π¬ Would you rather pay more now and save later, or keep costs low upfront but pay more over time?
