"Even though the artificial turf is likely to cause ____% more moderate to serious injuries compared with natural grass, the cost of installation and maintenance of the natural grass would be cost-prohibitive compared to artificial turf. The only variable that could change this equation is, if at some point in the future, pressure is brought to bear from the player's union, fans and the media to switch to natural grass. At this point, if gate receipts decline significantly, and/or if revenues decline causing negative cash flow due to negative publicity and/or a boycott, then we may need to reconsider our current policy and install natural grass. But until that point, a small to moderate number of moderate to serious injuries to players is a tolerable variable."
