No bursting into flames, just tearing up knees. The latest turf has literally hundreds of thousands of fake blades of grass woven into the turf then covered with beads of rubber. It's got cushion like real grass, excellent footing, great drainage and is very expensive. ;)

That would be the latest stuff. What is more likely is the less friendly stuff that doesn't cost a fortune.

Tightly woven carpet is actually a great play suface. Use zip ties through the weave to anchor bunkers, and you have a good field.

Play on this stuff for 5-a-side footy (soccer) awesome stuff! Still burns a bit but not nearly as bas as the old stuff.

Oh I wouldn't count your blessings just yet. Wait until you've had the pleasure of tackling someone, and end up with your arms underneath him while the both of you slide a yard or so...
Think cheese-slicer running down your arms ;)

Charlie, are you playing Campaign? If so, look me up. I'd be good to finally be able to swap boring ass football stories :D
