Artificial is what I have seen used and what I use myself, mainly for
soccer and (field) hockey. Although there are different types, the
effect is the same - artificial grass. For hockey many pitches are "wet"
whereas soccer pitches are "dry", some based on rubber granules, others
on sand.
Would you agree that "artificial" in combination with "sport" probably
tells you enough?
The brand/make I hear the most is "Astroturf" which I think was one of
the earliest suppliers. It could be on its way to becoming a "hoover"
i.e. a brand name becoming so commonplace that it is adopted into the
language.
