on opening day...it's field turf. Which begs the question...have YOU actually seen it?
Sorry man...but that was kind of a shot when you obviously don't have any proof to back it up...

It is installed over a geotextile fabric and underdrain system made of crushed gravel and leveling sand.

or at least a good ways down the lines.

There's about a 1 foot wide strip running down the fence lines, you can see it if you go to the left field area where Smokin' Pig sets up shop.

Your program is good enough to require multiple upgrades to Kingsmore.

But please, keep letting the "excellent" feed on TigerCast online give you all the details. lol.
I personally love the collar around the plate. It SCREAMS College Baseball to me FWIW.

Doug Kingsmore Stadium is about to get more upgrades. There is a presentation from competing construction companies happening today I'm not sure if the actual field is impacted in this, but I hope the AstroTurf is one of the components being upgraded.
