baseball field. High School, college or pro. I've gotten to be good friends with the local HS baseball coach (considered one of the best in the nation). He's 30 years into his gig & is a purist. With the advances in grass-like turf, he believes high schools & most colleges outside states like California, Arizona, Nevada & Texas should be a field turf where possible. He started with just the infield but is doing the entire surface in a few months. They take a trip to Florida each spring but will now only schedule games at sites with turf playing surfaces. (Knock on wood) not a single turf related injury since going to FieldTurf (or similar) surfaces. They had a couple of knee injuries back with that had the early AstroTurf surfaces in training areas. They could have a foot of snow on field turf in the morning & still play or practice that afternoon.
