text: what kind of grass is used on football fields? no drug references please! some teams your sod which is grass grown in other places and transfered to that field. but the new thing used is field-turf which is like turf grass then rubber dirt, some rocks underneath and then regular dirt. it drains rain unbeliveably and its amazing. the new england patriots use it now. i played a baseball tournament on that stuff and its great except its pron to ankle injuries.
