Athletic fields and golf course greens are both rolled. Mind you, the soil 
base is much sandier than normal soil and is engineered to take this kind 
of abuse.

On golf course greens, maintenance is also much higher with regular 
aeration, fertilizing and of course spraying to control the inevitable 
fungal problems.  The USGA provides the soil engineering specs for golf 
greens (what soil??) :-) for this high intensity turf abuse.. er growing 
situation. :-)

Sort of reminds me of that warning you see on tv - please do not try this 
at home.  :-)
