I don't have a dog in this fight and am open minded to the change but I don't see any field size change at KEE (only poly I play with regularity) and haven't seen any change in breakdowns.

I will agree though the maintainance costs are cheaper (for the track owners) and this may be the number 1 factor in going poly.

By the way I also prefer to see football and baseball on grass instead of astroturf but 'the times they are a changing'.

Hope we never see the day when hockey is played on soft plastic rather than ice which is camparible IMO.

This article has most of my data. There are others and I will see what I can post, but this article is excellent for data. I believe in facts, not worthless opinion based on nothing.
