I have headline envy after reading this article in the New York Post. It reports that the New York City Parks Department has installed 74 artificial turf sports fields and is planning to spend $150 million more to build another 100 fields over the next five years. Synthetic turf is one of the hottest businesses going right now. And not just for sports turf. It’s going to be bigger in the landscape industry too. My prediction.
By the way, many of New York’s synthetic fields will be used for youth soccer. How about this headline for that: “Not Exactly a Kick in the Grass.” — Ron Hall
