New Coach thinks it'll be beneficial, will help get us to being competitive.
I assume it is about cost, maintenance, and weather situations. Tradition can be expensive, but not always practical. Thanks to those who paid for this!
Selfishly, I do not like/want it...I really trust our current coaching staff to turn this program around. So, I'm sure they have thought this through a ton, and if they think they need it, then I'll support it. Does anyone know where the funding is coming from? If we had a 40 man field crew like other schools, we would probably keep the grass. When your coaching staff is completely responsible for the field, it takes from coaching. I'm sure the time issue was the main factor.

It's about recruiting. And it's 100% privately funded.
Think about this from a recruiting standpoint...our ground crew is the team.
Faster track but no more bad hops so fielding percentages should go up, right? I personally think the bases and mound should always be dirt. Who wants to slide on brown turf
Maybe for the infield. One of my most embarrassing moments was playing at Arkansas on turf. I was in LF and I was between running up to make the catch or letting it drop in front of me and I decided to let it drop. The ball bounced about 10 feet over my head and the guy got an inside the park HR.
Going off topic. I found our doppelganger stadium.

Pretty sure time spent working on the field during the season (other than game days) counts against practice time for players doing the work.
Well my son hates turf fields.
