turf
1.
grass and the surface layer of earth held together by its roots.
"they walked across the springy turf"
synonyms: grass, lawn, sod;

I think you meant artificial turf...

It looks like they're taking out the old turf and putting the new turf down as they go.

Cristobal talked about the turf on the latest ScoopDuck podcast. He said Oregon was one of two teams in the world to have this new type of turf, and that it is supposed to reduce injuries.

Us and the New England Patriots! Just listened to that podcast and they also interviewed Kelly Graves, this is something that anyone that’s a duck fan should hear! The stories about Sabrina and NBA players is hilarious.

I wonder if this new turf is less likely to give players cancer. They've found that soccer goalies have cancer rates higher than anyone else that uses turf fields

I heard it on a radio program so they didn't go in depth but were rehashing what this study found. I don't know if thats because they're getting down on the turf more or if its from just standing there and inhaling the fumes instead of running around.
