A Few More Spring Items.......

I was at the University of Indianapolis yesterday to tour the new softball field we constructed in the late summer 2010. The photo below shows the new field. The turf is 100% ryegrass and the infield is Natural Sand Dura Edge Collegiate Infield Mix.

The photo below is from the UIndy baseball field. This is a 90% ryegrass surface. The reason for this photo is to show the benefit of a reel mower. The field is cut at 1 1/2 in with an older version of a Toro reel mower. The pattern looks very nice.

My final stop of the day was to DePauw University. I wanted to show a photo of a dugout design that is eye pleasing. As you can see, concrete was add to extend the dugout towards the playing field to gain more sun in the dugouts during the cool spring play. Also, netting was added and yellow padding was added to the railings, holding true to the school colors.

Don't worry Wabash fans, there will be Wabash photos tomorrow.
