For your front lawn, you might not want hash marks and 10 yard lines, but a good referral to an installer could locate a surplus roll of virgin turf on the cheap.
I also managed to get a piece of the new turf large enough to park my car on top of at shows- really sets off the display!

I had been eyeballing some turf from the Tacoma area on Craigslist. Don't remember how much it was going for, but used might not be a bad way to go. Plus, if I don't like it, then I'll have wasted less money when I go to rip it out.
