主持人: 人造草坪的发展始于休斯顿球馆，由于室内环境导致天然草坪无法存活，促使了人造草坪的诞生和发展。其发展历程包含多个方面，从最初的Chemgrass到后来的AstroTurf，再到如今的混合型草坪，人造草坪在材料、结构和功能上不断改进，以满足不同运动项目和气候条件的需求。一代人造草坪虽然维护成本低，但存在耐热性差、容易造成运动损伤等缺点。二代和三代人造草坪在纤维材质、填充物等方面进行了改进，改善了舒适性和安全性。目前最先进的人造草坪是天然草坪和人造草坪的混合体，兼具两者优点，混合型人造草坪系统通过将人工纤维植入天然草坪中，增强其耐用性和稳定性，并改善排水性能。现代人造草坪系统还包含先进的排水系统、加热系统、照明系统和传感器等，以适应各种气候条件和比赛需求。 听众The Lawyer: 对播客内容表示赞赏，并建议对节目进行改进，例如按主题对剧集进行分类，方便听众查找和收听。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the origin of artificial turf, starting with the Houston Astrodome's need for a field that could withstand the lack of sunlight inside the enclosed stadium. It follows the development of Chemgrass, its adoption by the Astros, and the subsequent widespread use of artificial turf in various sports.
  • The Houston Astrodome's enclosed structure led to the invention of artificial turf.
  • Chemgrass, later renamed AstroTurf, was the first generation of artificial turf.
  • Artificial turf quickly gained popularity in professional sports in the 1970s.

Shownotes Transcript

In 1965, the world’s first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public. 

The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died. 

It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently. 

Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world.

Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
