FYI: Artificial turf football fields are supposed to look green. They are not supposed to look black. When they look black it means that far too many tons of crumb rubber have been dumped on the field to take the place of the plastic grass.
Tons of extra crumb rubber means the field has failed and the playing surface is not safe.
The blades of plastic are no longer able to hold the required depth of crumb rubber in place to prevent athletes from killing themselves when they hit the ground stone surface beneath the plastic. The playing surface is no longer uniform or stable.
The Walter Johnson High School football field is being used by two football teams this season and there are no plans or funding to replace this field this year. Students from all over Montgomery County will be risking their lives on this surface.
