Brigham Young University lays Astroturf on football field

Green SBR, especially in combination with the AstroFlect technology, effectively reduces field temperatures, without the disadvantages of certain organic infill materials like cork and coconut husks which are sometimes heralded as effective heat reducing agents.  Cork tends to migrate, float, and even rot on the field, while green SBR offers trusted performance.

The new 97,000 ft² artificial playing surface will include lining for soccer and lacrosse, but its primary designation will be as a football practice field. A thick rubber shock pad was installed under the turf, called an E-Layer, which is a great safety-enhancer.
