Are you basing that on anything?

Or just a hunch?

It seems that with the grass turf, there's a lot of assumptions being made on both sides of the aisle.

        Yes, but the deviation is very slight. - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:27
        
        Question ... - Mark, 2014-04-12, 20:32
        
        I don't have an ironclad answer to that question... - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:34

    - Neither surface has proven to be safer. - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 18:34
      - I respectfully disagree. - River, 2014-04-12, 19:58
        
        We could offer thousands of injury examples on each surface - Rob (Rakes of Mallow), 2014-04-13, 06:55
        
        True. - River, 2014-04-13, 16:53
        
        Do you honestly think there are no injuries on FieldTurf? - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:24
        
        Are you looking for an argument? - River, 2014-04-12, 20:33
        
        Anecdotal evidence isn't overly persuasive. - Joe, 2014-04-12, 22:06
        
        Well, you won me over. - River, 2014-04-13, 16:50
        
        I'm looking to get correct information out there. - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:41
        
        Well consider it a job well done. - River, 2014-04-12, 20:51
        
        No argument there. Something needed to be done. - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:55
      - Crappy grass certainly isn't as safe though - CK08, 2014-04-12, 18:59
        
        This is certainly true. A change needed to be made. - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 20:25
- I've heard that this new artificial turf can be grown though - GuinnessBob, 2014-04-12, 16:08
  - They'll install extensions... - Joe I, 2014-04-12, 19:46
- The outrage - Eric M, 2014-04-12, 14:06
  - "The outrage" crowd is just as insufferable - Rob (Rakes of Mallow), 2014-04-12, 19:03
    - Yes - Tim, 2014-04-13, 13:33
  - let's not get too haughty - Jay, 2014-04-12, 14:12
    - Acknowledging your preference, a couple of questions - Domer99, 2014-04-12, 16:45
      - sorry, I missed this post before - Jay, 2014-04-13, 11:29
    - I can understand some of the arguments - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2014-04-12, 14:35
    - You're not outraged - Eric M, 2014-04-12, 14:17
      - I think the sentiment comes from an honest place - Jay, 2014-04-12, 14:29
        
        It's hard to tell at this point though, right? - HullieAndMikes, 2014-04-12, 14:51
        
        Going back to a point discussed earlier this week - Domer99, 2014-04-12, 19:44
        
        It isn't helpful to paint with just as broad a brush... - Mobster, 2014-04-12, 16:10
        
        Except this really isn't an argument against grass - Domer99, 2014-04-12, 17:40
        
        I'm not those people but I will admit... - Mobster, 2014-04-12, 20:19
        
        Here's what Swarbrick said - Eric M, 2014-04-12, 21:19
        
        Do you really believe this? - Eric M, 2014-04-12, 16:52
        
        You obviously missed the "anybody's motives" in there - HullieAndMikes, 2014-04-12, 16:37
        
        high cost isn't the rationale - Jay, 2014-04-12, 16:19
        
        Maybe I need to rewatch what Jack said... - Mobster, 2014-04-12, 16:24
        
        Jack mentioned cost as a strike against Green Bay system - San Pedro, 2014-04-12, 16:31
        
        Then why mention cost at all? - Mobster, 2014-04-12, 20:22
        
        The cost may be comparable but only one guarantees results - scriptcomesfirst, 2014-04-12, 17:55
        
        I think that's it. - Bill, 2014-04-13, 07:35
        
        Certainty is probably strongest case for Field Turf. - San Pedro, 2014-04-13, 06:51
    - Are you basing that on anything? - Jim (fisherj08), 2014-04-12, 14:14
      - going by what Swarbrick said a few months ago - Jay, 2014-04-12, 14:22
        
        And still they wouldn't know whether it would be improved - scriptcomesfirst, 2014-04-12, 15:40
        
        While I agree with the point about the unknown... - ndroman21, 2014-04-12, 18:11
        
        Your point runs counter to a stated goal of the admin - PAK, 2014-04-13, 16:14
