Maybe for games played Nov 1 through end of spring ball. Otherwise probably temp like playing on asphalt road rest of the year. Recycled tires already increase field temp on field turf
Your point stands, a black field would blow to play on, but they don't really use all that rubber for filler anymore.

Really? Didn't know that. What did they substitute
Iirc it's more of like a sandy cork composite. Obviously super hard to see on TV but when the stuff flies up it's a little more tanish and brownish than black. Leaves the temperature a little cooler and there's no rubber dust so it's way healthier for players long term health

Joseph and Fisher look like they are having fun. The Palmer kid was a great get.
