The Black Hole – First Outdoor Black Football Field
If you’re wondering why West Salem High in West Salem, Oregon, decided to go with a black turf for its high school football field, than the answer is the one that usually comes up – money. The school was offered a price break of nearly $150,000 if it installed a black field rather than a green one, with those savings reflected in FieldTurf Inc.’s ability to avoid having to use died synthetic turf in its installation.
