3G artificial grass, all weather pitches are becoming more and more popular recently. Many clubs are moving from grass to train and play on plastic and rubber. To some it may sound discouraging, but I’ll give you 5 reasons why it is actually better than grass.
1. NO WATERLOGGS
You don’t need to worry about the weather that much and still play a game or train even if it rains. Most of us don’t like waterlogged pitches, but there are exceptions:
2. NO MUD
Your clothes and your boots will always stay clean!
3. NO GRASS CUTTING
Artificial pitches still require regular maintenance, but not as often as grass.
4. NO DRYING OUT
Again, the extreme weather conditions are not going to stop you from playing.
5. NO NEED FOR CANCELLING YOUR GAME
“Everyone is prepared for the big day, players are at the peak of their form, spectators are excited BUT the pitch is unsuitable for the game”
Don’t worry, that won’t happen on 3G. Enjoy the game!

3G FOOTBALL PITCH REVOLUTION
“The number of synthetic turf pitches has grown rapidly over the last few years and there are no signs that this rate of growth is slowing. These artificial grass surfaces are virtually indistinguishable from natural grass when viewed from any distance, and are regarded to be as safe (if not safer) than the real thing. The main advantage of these pitches is that they can be played on in any weather condition and do not suffer from wear-and-tear meaning it is possible to play a full match on the same patch of plastic grass every day for a year without the surface being tarnished. Add to this the fact that football clubs are looking to reduce maintenance costs and the number of winter matches cancelled due to frozen pitches, and it is easy to see why we are seeing 3G stadiums all around the world.” (Source)
