For this part of the country, would be the most durable and consistent playing surface.

Where I live, EVERY high school has FieldTurf. I actually prefer to see natural grass but I understand the decision to go artificial. Baseball can stay natural, football, because of the wear and tear, can go to the fake stuff.

Field turf or resodding the place. I'm fine with either as long as we don't have a divet team running onto the field at every break against BYU.

Recruiting.....willing to bet that played a huge role in the decision.

I do not approve.

Anybody from Norwalk other than me? You see Brien McMahon's (my alma mater) field? LOVE it... when I was there (over 25 years ago) it looked like the projects (with Rowayton right next door).. Norwalk High's field is nice too... I'm all for Field Turf at the Rent.. because the sod we have there looks like crap...
