Field is rough

It’s time for turf. When our own players are slipping all over our “home field”, you know it’s time.
Disagree, night games are going to be sloppy in November with this weather but most years the turf team does a great job. Real grass fields are much more forgiving than field turf, look at how few of ACL injuries we’ve had over the years.

It's been an issue all year...
Compared to turf it is always an 'issue' if you want it to be an issue. This might be an off year for the field, but there are reasons its not perfect this time of year. Heck watch NFL grass fields this time of year, I'd say ours has held up well above average.

At the end of the day if you're a turf guy, then you are a turf guy. If you aren't, you aren't. I'm not and as long as we can manage the field like we do, I won't be, nor will many (perhaps majority) of others.

I hate turf. Our field is usually great, someone messed something up this year.
