markings that are required for the field it will be understood that other steps and equipment may also be utilized to assist in improving the fabrication process once the facility 5 is available and includes the necessary equipment and space the prefabrication process of the field can be performed at the outset a plurality of rolls that together will form an entire synthetic sports field axe selected for the prefabrication process such that the appropriate number of rolls of turf are on hand each individual roll consists of a discrete strip 22 of synthetic turf that is positioned in the working area the configuration of each strip in an unrolled position is well known and consists of a front side 24 and a back side 26 the back side 24 consists of a base material with rows of tufted yarn secured thereto and extending outwardly from the front side 24 to form the synthetic turf surface each strip 22 also preferably includes a tufted line generally designated by reference number 28 which is formed along the entire length of the roll from one end to the other in a direction perpendicular to the centerline 12 the line 28 represents a yard line such as a five yard line i e 5 10 15 etc is preferably colored white arid is about four 4 inches in width the yard line 28 is located adjacent one edge 30 32 of each strip and while the line 28 extends from the front side 24 it is visible from the back side 26 each roll is positioned and oriented properly at one end of the working area before being rolled out and positioned on the floor 10 of the facility 5 once positioned the strip 22.
