[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 785756, member: 4003"] I'm assuming we went back to artificial turf for the football field because we want to host other events, e.g. concerts, there. Concerts, and even football, take a toll on grass every use. Some NFL teams have to replace their grass regularly, if I'm not mistaken, so likely a significant long term cost savings. Fortunately, the turf they have these days is much better, and looks much better, than the turf they had back in the mid 90's. If I'm not mistaken, Tech had artificial turf/concrete when I started grad school there in 1995 before they went to grass. Although my memory from 25 years ago is a little suspect. The baseball stadium will likely be used for nothing more than... baseball! So I don't think there's much of a chance of going artificial on the baseball side. [/QUOTE]
