Question Are you talking about field turf?

Sounds like you are talking about the new field turf surface. They are putting this in at Aloha Stadium so if I'm lucky enough to get selected for the state championship I might get to work on it. In a another year or two I heard that Kamehameha Schools-Maui campus is putting in a field turf surface.

My question is this: Is it still possible to get dirty on one of these surfaces? I read that they sprinkle a mixture of sand and soil over the synthetic surface and it settles in naturally between the fake glass blades.

Seems like the NFL prefers these types of playing surfaces over the traditional artificial turf but grass is still number 1.
