Gonna be a big cleanup for both HS fields. Stadium field has buckled up again
Both HS fields gonna need a big cleanup. Should be able to fix the stadium field after it bubbled. This abuse is not good for the turf for sure
Yes a big mess again.
Artificial turf was not meant for active flood plains which exactly describes Stevens Field, RHS Stadium and Maple Field. We are currently planning to replace the old turf field at Maple with new artificial turf. No one has told us what the infill will be( crumb rubber is not a proper infill for a multitude of reasons including environmental , health and recycling issues). The cost is upwards of 500,000 dollars. The past is a good indicator of the future. Please tell the council you do not want artificial turf.
