I can't believe what I'm seeing. I had no idea this went on.
I didn't either. I just noticed when WVU built their new field. This is one hill away from our Morgantown house and is a great place to get hammered and watch minor league ball in the summer.

The only dirt at Patterson Stadium (home of Louisville) is on the pitcher's mound. Everything else is artificial. Seems like more and more programs are going to this

I know what you mean, but I still love the dirt/grass when it's kept well.

Those crazy cooyons at the school formerly know as the University of Southwestern Louisiana has gone turf too. I believe their new stadium will be completely turf as well.

At a sports bar watch them get throttled by UT, looks like they have brown field turf instead of real dirt.
This is very common these days. More and more teams are going to field turf, less chance for rainouts and easier to maintain than grass and dirt.
