FieldTurf USA has been busy replacing and repairing more ragged fields in the San Diego Unified School District in recent months, just three to five years after the fields were installed, newly released emails show.
Most of the fields were highlighted in Voice of San Diego’s series on FieldTurf’s failing artificial turf fields in the region. The fields at San Diego High, Morse High and Edison Elementary were already replaced for free under warranty with supposedly better turf, and all three are again experiencing problems. Madison High’s $590,000 turf field looked particularly tired after only five years.
