Both the Yale Bowl and Rentschler Field should go to hybrid natural turf system. Both fields are below grade and close to the water table. It is part of the reason the fields look and play terribly as early as October each year. It only makes sense to use modern technology to maintain the historic look and supplement the durability and feel on the playing surface. The days of the miniature golf putting green over a cement slab are long over. I would think Walter Camp would agree.
Seriously? I take it the natural grass guys haven't been to the Rent this year. Even in the deluge a couple of weeks ago, the turf held up great. Let's see what the latest studies showing a link between turf and cancer show before we jump on that old bandwagen.
