Please, listen to the people in the community who the supervisors should represent - we don't want this!! Replace with natural grass, not artificial, expensive killer material.

Another case of wasteful spending, there are better uses for that money than a soccer field

Was this a voted measure by the supervisors or is it John Foust unilaterally enabling this to happen?

Grass fields are more than enough. No need for the toxic material

I am becoming increasing disgruntled with the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, who do not seem to act on behalf of the community they serve. Rather, they seem to be making decisions from within a bubble from which they cannot hear and do not care about what the communities want. Can we at least not poison our children?

Polyethylene and crumb rubber fields are no substitute for good grass fields. Safety should come first for our junior players.

So many parents object to synthetic turf why is Great Falls going this route? If there is a safer alternative that should be used. Keep the grass.

Grass is good, cheap and non-toxic. Let's be smart and safe.

Americans are very good at making money, but this time, put your efforts into another cause. As an Argentine, an educator, and children's advocate, I'd encourage to continue using natural grass for children's practices and games. We produce the best soccer players in the world, and I can assure you that neither Maradona nor Messi favor practicing or playing on synthetic turf, except in big tournaments or world championships. You know money, we know soccer, please don't risk your children's health in favor of making money; it's simply not right.

Natural Bermuda Grass is the best. No toxic turf.

The field is in proximity to my home. If the aeration affects athletes it will have an effect on the air quality of my home.

This is not acceptable! Money should be no object when it comes to the safety of others, especially our children.

If the grass is replaced With fake-cancerous turf none of my 3 children will participate in any sport using those dangerous fields. You will rob them of their childhood.

Please do not move forward with the plan to use fake turf. It is dangerous. Nuff said. Someone somewhere is going to make a nice pile of money poisoning our children if the the plan is executed.
