My yearly request to the grounds crew

First I want to say that the field looks fantastic, but I have one request. The apron around home plate needs to be cleaned. If anyone is listening, this sure would make our field look its best. Best is the standard.

I agree. Speaking of beefs/requests, I know attendance is good but it's a darn shame they won't let fans sit behind homeplate. 90% of the TV shots are from behind the pitcher. Showing empty stands is a bad look. Let folks sit there. If ticketholder comes, they can move.

Tickets are 5k and the only difference is you get self service from concessions. The thing about the apron. Every year someone complains. People need to realize it does get cleaned. They use the field Daily. They stand there for bp and such. Imagine muddy cleats.

I've noticed that the turf is mismatched there anyway. The difference in color between the fake turf and the real stands out more to me.

it looks awful and cheap. ditch it. Make the dirt bigger if need be. Few MLB fields have anything like that. You can even replace worn sod from time to time. It reflects badlky on a school with a turf grass pedigree.

The wear and tear the turf helps. At least we still have real grass behind the turf and in front of the dugouts in foul territory. Most teams are changing foul territory to all turf.

of his game play-by-plays . . . . and he responded that he GUARANTEED that abomination was going to get fixed soon or he would pay for it all & fix it hisself.
Right, DavidHood® ? ? ?

Or just admit that the experiment didn't work.

It was a good idea to try the apron. Now its obviously time to bring back the grass. Grass with worn places looks better than the apron that can't be kept clean.

Do y’all not understand the wear and tear? Y’all go work on a ball field. If so upset go and clean it yourself. I’m telling you that’s the last thing on their mind. I didn’t know the halo around home plate made the differences in wins a losses.

IT IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE WHAT THESE GOOBERS COMPLAIN ABOUT. BUT HEY, I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO NOTICE IT. SILLY ME. AND YES IT WAS VACUUMED AND CLEANED BEFORE THE FIRST GAME. TO BAD THAT SILLY THING CALLED DIRT MESSED IT ALL UP.

the best possible. Take a little pride in DKS and other Clemson facilities. It’s obvious that you never went to school at Clemson.
PS: I emailed Graham Neff about this and I was really surprised when he responded. Here’s what he said:
“Thanks Jim - good Beautiful Tiger Field is so special.
Had the same thought about the apron. We’re on it.
Go Tigers!
Graham Neff”

it’s obvious I didn’t go here. Dude shut up. I didn’t attend here doesn’t make me less of a fan. Weak. My dad went here and my fiancé did. I currently work for the university. Out of state tuition was pricey sorry. Guess what they cleaned it before. They can’t clean it after every game and practice. They whoops I saw dirt on a rail too or paint chipped down at the bottom of a rail. They should hire you to inspect it all. It looks fin and so does the team. If you wanna be picky go out to the tiger paw in the outfield on the hitting cages. Yeah it’s beat up and faded. Can’t tell from afar but go look close out there.

Thanks for proving the point.
They can’t and aren’t gonna clean it every day. If y’all are so upset then go clean it yourselves. Guess no one realizes what it takes and has never taken care of a ball field.

See them standing there on the turf for bp. Yeah I rest my case for the wear and tear and reason why it’s there.

I’d say it’s well past time to rest your case. And your fingers.

Oh no I’m at the game before the tarp came out and was some dirt. I don’t hear anyone in the stands complaining or players and coaches. Just sounds like key board warriors complaining. Typical.
